Computers and the Internet

Abstract

The use of the Internet implies an interactive involvement in the process of acquiring information. To retain such information and incorporate it in one’s daily life, that information needs to be in writing, either in printed form for reception or in one’s handwriting or typing for recording reactions and responses (Pulier, Mount, McMenamin, & Maheu, 2007). If the Internet is indeed the most revolutionary development in the last generation, the information it yields will need to be transferred to participant records and documentation. This approach has made it relatively easy to help people through distance writing (DW) without ever seeing them face-to-face or even talking with them.
