I am reluctant to be seen as self-aggrandizing (note that I am not necessarily reluctant to BE self-aggrandizing), but here are two of my own articles that provide both review and empirical comparisons of media (traditional and computer-mediated), with lots of references in both: Rice, R. E. (1987). Computer-mediated communication and organizational innovation. Journal of Communication, 37(4), 65-94. Rice, R. E. (1993). Media appropriateness: Using social presence theory to compare traditional and new organizational media. Human Communication Research, 19(4), 451-484. ====================================== Ronald E.

I cannot speak to differences or similarities between computers and other media, but I have argued taking care not to assume differences between CMC and face-to-face communication without empirical research.
For instance, I've argued that there are similarities between CMC and face-to-face talk in terms of arguments, and that by calling certain phenomena "flaming" scholars risk bracketing off computer-based phenomena as automatically different from what happens in face-to-face conversation, before empirical research is even begun.
So I argue for extinguishing the term flaming.

Most of the research in CMC seems to "assume" differences between CMC and other media such as telephone and letter-mail.
I have been unable to find research that clearly delineates this difference. Can anyone help me here.
