Macam-macam teknologi untuk

komunikasi
• Siapa penemu teknologi? Telepon? Internet?
• Although not a totally satisfactory solution, in this
book we regard a communication
technology as ‘new’ if it’s digital and computer-
based. By the time you read this book,
however, we can only imagine what other corners
of our lives will be digitized and driven
by computer technology. In the meantime, it’s
one of the most well known and
‘revolutionizing’ examples of this ongoing process
of computerization which interests us
more than anything else: the internet.

• Perhaps the most important of these contextual factors is simply the type of internet
technology actually being used. Think about it for a moment. The way people
communicate is quite likely to be different if they’re using email compared with, say,
instant messaging, just as personal homepages may serve different communication goals
from the type of CMC that happens in newsgroups. In fact, communication on the internet
will always be heavily influenced by some, or all, of the following contextual factors:
● the type of channel (e.g. email or webpages) and the modes of communication it
enables (e.g. text-based, graphics-based or audio-visual – or all three);
● the participants (e.g. male or female, young or old) and the number of participants
(e.g. one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many);
● the length (e.g. long-term or fleeting) and the nature of people’s relationship (e.g.
personal or professional);
● the topic (e.g. medical advice or romantic date) and purpose of the exchange (e.g.
scholarly, private or commercial);
● whether the interaction is synchronous (i.e. in real time) or asynchronous (i.e. not
in real time, with delayed interactions);
● whether it’s public or private (e.g. interpersonal, small group, or mass
communication) and whether it’s moderated or unmoderated (e.g. under the direct
or indirect supervision of someone or not);
● what the general attitude of participants is towards communication on the internet
(e.g. enthusiastic or sceptical, half-hearted or committed) and how long they’ve
been doing CMC (e.g. are they newcomers or are they really experienced?).

• Review
In this unit, we started by looking at the historical context of new
communication
technologies and technologies like the telephone and telegraph. We then
briefly
described the internet, the web and cyberspace, before turning to identify
the major
interactive technologies on the internet which concern scholars of CMC.
We also
considered how genres of communication will vary not only from
technology to
technology (or sub-system to sub-system), but also in accordance with a
range of other
contextal factors. We ended the unit by recognising how quickly the field
covered by
CMC is changing

• Use resources on the web to find brief descriptions or
explanations of the different
genres of CMC such as email, mailing lists, instant
messaging, MUDs, bulletin
boards, newsgroups, personal homepages, virtual
reality environments, internet
relay chat.
