How Do U Want to Communicate?

In the last chapter we talked about the hopes and fears in the new technology world. In chapter 3 Baym discusses face-to-face communication versus internet communication. We can understand that not only are we living in an information world but a digital world too! A world in which we use social cues. The understanding of how people would rather communicate face-to-face because of Social Presence , which is the “level of interpersonal contact and feeling of intimacy experienced in communication” (Baym 53). When it comes to communication nonverbal and verbal language plays a major part every human being has used it one point or another in their lives. When Bayam explains the Social Presence Theory she turns our attention how the theory focuses on real and present; and the Medium Richness Theory which focuses on the medium. In other words this is how the world is operating rather we like or not? These are two very important theories in the world right now because it is how the world is communicating on a daily basis.
