Each section of this text focuses on helping students understand how computer-mediated communication (CMC) is used in contemporary society. It provides different ways to think about how CMC is used to build interpersonal relationships, develop group communication, and support public communication both locally and globally—all while exploring social issues and challenges facing those who communicate via the computer.
