guest speaker

One thing I wondered if the guest speaker researched any was who people acted/participated in online communiction after that had participated in a face-to-face focus group.
She had at one point stated that some of the people who were invloved in one of the focus groups were so engrossed in their discussion topic that they had continued to converse after the focus group had finish. So I would imagine that the group members would have continued their conversations via the internet. She also explained how people in face-to-face interactions are more polite than people who are communicating virtually. So that is why I was wondering if the people who had previously had a physical face-to-face interaction are more polite the eachother in a virtual setting that people who haven't had face-to-face interactions with that people that they are communicating with?

  1. I love your question, Kayla! You ask "So that is why I was wondering if the people who had previously had a physical face-to-face interaction are more polite the eachother in a virtual setting that people who haven't had face-to-face interactions with that people that they are communicating with?" -
    Can you think of an answer? what is your opinion? what are your experiences?
