Computer-Mediated Communication introduces students to the terms, theories, and issues associated with the use of the Internet in personal and social contexts. Each section of this text focuses on helping students understand how computer-mediated communication (CMC) is used in contemporary society.

This review is from: Computer-Mediated Communication: Human-to-Human Communication Across the Internet (Paperback)

I think this book is one of the very best on the topic of the Internet. For those of us in the field of communication studies, this book is helpful in understanding how people use the Internet. This changing and powerful communication medium is important to understand and worthy of new scholarship in our field.

Although designed for college courses in communication, other people interested in better understanding the power of the Internet may enjoy this book.

This review is from: Computer-Mediated Communication: Human-to-Human Communication Across the Internet (Paperback)

I purchased this for my COM class at school. While some of the material is dated, it is well-written for someone who is not very computer savvy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great deal!, Jun 22 2009

By V. Williams "Grandma Grad Student" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Computer-Mediated Communication: Human-to-Human Communication Across the Internet (Paperback)

I didn't want to pay the high price for a book at the college bookstore so I took a chance. I received the book for an excellent price, in excellent condition and in just 2 or 3 business days. This order has boosted my confidence to order again.
