''CMC vs F2F''
CMC is stand for Computer Mediated Communication
FtF is Face-2-Face communication
According to Bubas
(2001) computer mediated communication (CMC) is a process that involved the
changes in information including audio, textual and/or video which is
transmitted and controlled by user via the use of computer and technology.
This meaning that, all
of the information that being used on computer, controlled by user and through
the use of technology is considered as CMC.
This type of communication
is differ than Face-to-Face (FtF) communication while we tend to send and share
the information through a tool, apart from computer itself, it can be other
gadget such as tablet, smart phone etc. But there is some accusation, towards
CMC, which is seen as bad communication, because the quality of communication
is low due to technological restraint.
This computer mediated
communication, it is not compulsory, the information is exchange through the
computer only. In addition, Bubas stated that CMC is the basis of interpersonal
communication. When it comes to interpersonal communication, it’s a type of
communication that came in dyad, which the communication process is dynamic.
CMC according Joinson
(2004) CMC is an internet behavior been characterized as more intimate,
personal and self-disclosing than FtF.
The other type of
interaction that exists ages before the existence of CMC is Face-to-Face
communication. Kayen and Fogel (1980) stated that facial expression is not the
only modality of communication in the face to face interaction. Due to this, we
can say that facial expression is an important expression, in the process of
communication.
Bubas (2001) stated
that different types of communication media enable the different levels of
experience of the social presence of individuals who are engaged in
communication.
FtF benefits can be
described as follow, the information of cultural, ethnic, social status, gender
or age is often known compared to those who are like to communicate using CMC.
And most important, the intimacy in FtF is higher than CMC, because it rich in
verbal and nonverbal cues.

As for me,it is better for us to stay to communicate via F2F .This is because I believe that someone should go and face with each other in order to seek for some understanding and knowledge either some confirmation.
ReplyDeletebagi pendapat saya, komunikasi secara bersemuka lebih baik daripada komunikasi dengan menggunakan komputer sebagai pengantara. Hal ini kerana dengan bersemuka kita dapat mengetahui kebenaran, kejujuran dan keikhlasan apa yang ingin disampaikan oleh penyampai. Ia juga mengelak daripada berlaku perselisihan faham antara satu sama lain. selain itu juga, apabila disampaikan dengan menggunakan media sosial ia berkemungkinan lebih kepada palsu daripada realiti sebab di laman sosial semua benda boleh terjadi dan buat diedit mengikut citarasa seseorang itu.
ReplyDeletewelll for me its depend on the situation..some time not everything we should say it by F2F maybe not brave enough to face the facts during the F2F conversation... so this come to the using of MCM. There is pro and cont using both...by using the MCM method there might be lack of efficientcy during the conversation...so both ways have their own benefit usage
DeleteF2F is more effective for me because we can see the truth in the way we communicate each other..but sometimes we may use MCM if we really need it..by the way both type of communication is important.
ReplyDeleteKedua-dua jenis komunikasi ini ada baik dan buruknya. Jika kedua-dua belah pihak tidak selesa untuk bersemuka, maka MCM adalah jalan terbaik kerana dikhuatiri perbicangan menjadi lebih rumit. Tetapi jika F2F kita dapat menilai keikhlasan dan kejujuran kata-kata sebelah pihak melalui 'body language' dan 'non verbal communictaion'. Maka komunikasi akan menjadi lebih telus dan memudahkan.
ReplyDeleteBagi pendapat saya, F2F sangat berkesan dalam komunikasi kerana bukan sahaja dapat mengeratkan hubungan bahkan mesej yang diterima lebih sampai kepada kita berbanding MCM.
ReplyDeletePendapat sy, kedua-duanya mempunyai kebaikan dan keburukan. Orang yg menggunakannya haruslah bijak dlm menggunakan kedua-dua dan tidak mengharapkan 1komunikasi sahaja.
ReplyDeleteMisalnya, ada sesetangah orang lebih mudah meluahkan perasaan dan mengatakan sesuatu melalui MCM berbanding facetoface, kerana bagi mereka ia mudah disampaikan mesej.
