Hi, One thing that is classically overlooked is the electronically mediated communication via mobile devices (specifically the mobile phone). CMC excludes it specifically while when talking about ICT and really meaning computer based IP traffic, the omission is somewhat different. I know that IP based interaction is coming via mobile devices (WiFi, mobile IM, mobile e-mail, etc) but obviously I think that it is also worthwhile to consider mobile telephony and mobile text based interaction) Rich L.
