Understanding mediated communication: the social intelligence design (SID) approach

摘要

In the information society, new technologies have a huge impact on the way people work, interact, and communicate. New technologies such as social intelligent agents, collaborative virtual and information environments, personalized information tools, and interactive community media, are rapidly changing our language, the way we work together, and our lifestyle in general. The papers in this special issue are focused on the significance of such technologies in our lives, the way we work, learn, and play at home, office, school, or on the move, and, in particular, on the ways new technologies mediate human communication and collaboration across geographical and cultural divides.
