This is an older work, but it is important to continue learning about and evaluating the use of digital communication.
George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” That statement is the reason social communication is covered here with a historical view. This review of computer mediated communications (CMC) is helpful in understanding the nature of key developments. These led to the social media space we know today. Discussing the portable nature of various interactions is relevant as the foundation for a deep understanding of social communication. This is an important analysis in helping people understand the way we can use information technology to interact without the limitations of geographical distance and time.
