Rumbough, Timothy B.
College & University Media Review, v5 n2 p29-36 Spr 1999
Results of a survey of 611 undergraduate students at a large northeastern university on their knowledge, attitudes, and usage of computer-mediated communication indicated there are many who are still unfamiliar with major components of computers and the Internet. Many subjects chose to visit controversial Web sites; deception is common when subjects use e-mail and chat rooms. (AEF)
