Answer to Question 1

When technological change creates new social situations, people invent new ways of behaving. When we use
information technology, we talk to other people, but we do so alone. As a result, our messages are likely to
display less social awareness. The advantage is that social posturing and sycophancy decline. The disadvantage is
that politeness and concern for others also decline. The plain text and perceived ephemerality of e -messages make
it relatively easy for a person to forget or ignore their audience and consequently send messages that ignore social
boundaries, disclose the self, and are too blunt.

Answer to Question 2

C. Problem Solving
