Abstract
Society acquires much of its character from the ways in which people interact (Ellis, Gibbs & Rein, 1991). Over the last decade, computers have become commonplace in our offices, schools, and homes. In the next decade, computer-mediated communication systems, the technological marriage of computers and telecommunication, will serve as a driving force for societal change (Naisbitt & Aburdene, 1990).
