In this assignment, you will choose one form of
computer or electronic mediated communication, such
as cellphone calls, testing via short messaging systems
(SMS), Skype, teleconferencing, Facebook, Twitter,
or blogs and compare it with face-to-face
communication. You will write a paper that answers the
following:
Are the modes media rich or media deficient?
Can they be used synchronously, asynchronously or
both?
How much anonymity or pseudo anonymity is
available with each type?
In which situations would the communication mode
you chose be advantageous; in which situations would
it be disadvantageous?
What social advantage does each offer?
How does each affect the development of an
identity?
Support your paper with at least three scholarly
resources.
