Chapter 2 Blog Post

-
Chapter 2 discusses how computer-mediated communication (CMC) affects identity formation, social networking, online culture and power, and more. CMC first began with discussion boards and emails, but it has evolved drastically over time. It has been a wonderful way for people from all over the world to connect with one another and network. CMC has even allowed people to overcome physical and psychological limitations. However, when people prefer online interaction it can be problematic because it can cause loneliness. It is important for people to realize that CMC, whether it be email or social media, is simply a tool to help face to face communication flourish! In most cases, CMC is used to help maintain relationships instead of establish. CMC and social media could also be used to advocate for societal issues and help people gain power in the real world, whether it be in their community or their own small business.

Digital Writing Style: The Skimm

Photo Credit: Jamie Albert (The Daily Skimm, one of their many hyperlinks) The Skimm uses plenty of hyperlinks in the news summaries. I believe that they’re successful because they are constant; Almost everything can direct you somewhere else and inform you about what it going on in the world. The word choice is nice because it’s simple yet informative and eye-catching. A potential weakness of the frequent hyperlinks could be that people might accidentally click on a link they did not intend to. This could lead them elsewhere in the web-world and people might get bothered by that.
