Description: We live in a world where technology plays an increasing role in social interaction. Whether it's talking on the phone to a friend or participating in a chat group on the Internet, most of us will use some form of communication technology as we go about our daily lives. But are we shaping the way in which these various technologies develop, or are we ourselves becoming increasingly technologized? It is precisely this question that this new, highly topical book seeks to answer.

The book begins by examining a variety of theoretical perspectives on this issue. It offers a critical appraisal of recent sociological thinking, which has tended to over-estimate society's influence on technological development. Instead it calls for a new appreciation of the relationship between human communication and technology. Using original case studies to develop its argument, the study explores the multiplicity of ways in which technology affects our ordinary conversational practices. It concludes that the impact of technology upon social interaction is equally as important as our shaping of technology itself.
