CMC is Computer-mediated communication (CMC) refers to human communication via computers and includes many different forms of synchronous, asynchronous or real-time interaction that humans have with each other using computers as tools to exchange text, images, audio and video.
- Examples of Computer-Mediated Communication:
CMC examples includes email, network communication, instant messaging, text messaging, hypertext, distance learning, Internet forums, USENET newsgroups, bulletin boards, online shopping, distribution lists and video conferencing.
So from what I have learnt about CMC, I can identify advantages and disadvantages of it. The advantages are it is no distance barrier, mitigates time as a barrier, makes collaborations much easier and can reduced social influences and detriments. For the disadvantages, it might be lack of socio-emotional and nonverbal cues. Other than that, lack of real human contact and problems with access to technology.
