"The computer has greatly improved our lives today"


Communication is essentially a need for cooperation. They rather promote a life-style, which adds value to individual life of all, the business life and the society as a whole.

Computer-Mediated Communication is defined as any communicative transaction which occurs through the use of two or more networked computers.

The internet is the interconnection of computers around the world. It allows users of these computers to communicate in a variety of ways: through email, streaming conferencing, website information, file sharing, and others....


On the one hand, the computer has become a basic tool in our work at the office, in our houses and in everywhere because we can carry a laptop with us and log in through wireless technology wherever we feel like and at any time of the day. Besides this connecting and communicating through the internet can be one of the most effective and simple ways to use technology in the classroom. Thus, It can be extremelly motivating to students and offer opportunities for students to be involved in productive learning experiences.


On the other hand, connecting and communicating through the internet can be a frustrating and unrewarding experience for both the teacher and students if there is a lack of understanding and organization regarding the expectations of the experience. Secondly, the frustration may stem from a lack of technical support or perhaps a lack of understanding in regards to using email programs or even dissapointment in the process of the email exchange. Finally, one factor that is common between a successful an unsuccessful communication attempt on the Internet is the fact that teachers understand that it is an important skill for students to acquire.


Concluding, we decide how to use a computer. We should select more and less important information to use the computer as a tool which has to be mastered and controlled by the human beings.
