Computer Mediated Communication
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is an umbrella term that encompasses various forms of communication through networked computers (i.e., videoconferencing, phone calls, email messages, etc.)
My daily communication is mediated through the use of technology, such a cell phone, laptop, and social networks. I use my cell phone everyday almost all day, I even sleep with it or have it on my night stand next to my bed. Being in school online requires me to be on my laptop so often, completing my assignments or I will use my laptop to research multiple things if my cell phone is running slow. Also, I usually check my social networks like Instagram and Facebook every day, I just recently deleted my twitter account app, but I still receive emails often about twitter.
Some advantages smartphones provide â better means of communication, learning options to users, great exposure to the latest things, ways to personality development, simple ways to access applications, ideas to succeed in business, platforms to grow their applications, and more
Laptops allow employees to virtually connect with customers at any time of the day. Besides traditional email, employees can follow up with leads in creative ways using tools like Skype, social media outlets like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and customer service chat platforms

A key idea behind Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and other platforms is that we can create rich networks of friends, receive frequent updates from people in our lives, and build a sense of community.
Social rules may be constrained by technical means that enforce a given policy of use. Privacy is one such example:Â to allow wide acceptance and use of computer-mediated communication systems, these systems must guarantee privacy protection.

Which that will make you not know a person is really feeling and can eventually loses close friends have drama, this has happened to me.
