This document discusses types of mediated communication like social media and synchronous vs asynchronous communication. It describes how media can impact messages by modifying them based on media richness theory and leading to chains of other media use. The document also covers benefits and challenges of mediated relationships, such as allowing telecommuting but potentially reducing solidarity, and facilitating long-distance relationships but possibly feeling too connected or idealizing relationships. It concludes with recommendations for dialogic communication in mediated relationships like being honest, considering the medium's fit with the message, and interacting online as if face to face.
