Social platforms such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter have
rekindled the initial excitement of cyberspace. Text based
computer-mediated communication has been enriched with face-to-face
communication such as Skype, as users move from desk tops to
laptops with integrated cameras and related hardware. Age, gender
and culture barriers seem to have crumbled and disappeared as the
user base widens dramatically. Other than simple statistics
relating to e-mail usage, chatrooms and blog subscriptions, we know
surprisingly little about the rapid changes taking place. This book
assembles leading researchers on non-verbal communication, emotion,
cognition and computer science to summarize what we know about the
processes relevant to face-to-face communication as it pertains to
telecommunication, including video-conferencing. The authors take
stock of what has been learned regarding how people communicate, in
person or over distance, and set the foundations for solid research
helping to understand the issues, implications and possibilities
that lie ahead.
