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.
