Understanding Intercultural Communication

We do not have many opportunities to discuss the mediation of interpersonal communication by technology. In large part this is because the study of interpersonal communication only sparsely focuses on the issue of technological mediation. This is because we normally think of interpersonal communication requiring primarily verbal and nonverbal face-to-face communication. To what extent, or if at all, is face-to-face communication crucial to successful interpersonal communication in the workplace? Are technologies of communication ever an adequate substitute for effective interpersonal communication? If so, what are these technologies? Provide concrete examples.:

· Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor

· Provide extensive additional information on the topic

· Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail

· Share an applicable personal experience
