Computer-Mediated Communication
Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) refers to any form of communication that occurs through the use of electronic devices. This includes emails, instant messaging, social media, and video calls. CMC allows people to connect and share information regardless of their physical location, making communication faster and more accessible.
One key aspect of CMC is that it can take various forms, such as text, audio, or video. Each format has its own advantages and challenges, influencing how messages are interpreted. For example, text-based communication may lack emotional cues, while video calls can convey tone and body language more effectively.
