Description
From music to gaming, information gathering to eLearning; eCommerce to eGovernment, Lorenzo Cantoni and Stefano Tardini's absorbing introduction considers the internet as a communication technology; the opportunities it affords us, the limitations it imposes and the functions it allows.
Internet explores:
the political economy of the internet
hypertext
computer mediated communication
websites as communication
conceptualizing users of the internet
internet communities and practices.
Perfect for students studying this modern phenomenon, and a veritable e-feast for all cyber junkies.
