Abstract

In this article we combine the perspectives of sociology and computer science to compare face-to-face (f2f) and computer-mediated communications (CMC) from the viewpoint of their respective abilities to form and sustain communities. We also identify a third type of community-a hybrid-that is based on a combination of faceto-face (f2f) and CMC, or off- and online communications. The article thus in effect addresses an oft-asked question: Can virtual communities be "real", have the same basic qualities as f2f communities? The article is exploratory, because much of the necessary evidence has not yet been generated, and the relevant technologies are rapidly changing.
面对面和计算机媒介社区的比较分析
在本文中,我们结合社会学和计算机科学的观点,从面对面(f2f)和计算机媒介通信(CMC)各自形成和维持社区的能力的角度来比较它们。我们还确定了第三种类型的社区——混合社区——它基于面对面(f2f)和CMC(离线和在线交流)的结合。因此,这篇文章实际上解决了一个经常被问到的问题:虚拟社区是否“真实”,是否具有与现实社区相同的基本品质?这篇文章是探索性的,因为许多必要的证据尚未产生,而且相关技术正在迅速变化。
