Computer-mediated communication refers to communication between two or more people using electronic devices. There are two transmission methods: synchronous communication occurs in real-time, while asynchronous is delayed. Benefits include the ability to communicate regardless of time or location, allowing for collaboration from anywhere in a cost-effective manner. However, CMC lacks non-verbal cues that can lead to misinterpretation, and vulnerable users may be at higher risk online. Examples of CMC include instant messaging, emailing, video conferencing and social media platforms.
