Internet (Routledge Introductions to Media and Communications)

From music to gaming, information gathering to eLearning; eCommerce to eGovernment, Lorenzo Cantoni and Stefano Tardini's absorbing introduction considers the internet as a communication technology; the opportunities it affords us, the limitations it imposes and the functions it allows.

Internet explores:

• the political economy of the internet
• hypertext
• computer mediated communication
• websites as communication
• conceptualizing users of the internet
• internet communities and practices.

Perfect for students studying this modern phenomenon, and a veritable e-feast for all cyber junkies.
