electronically-mediated communication
An umbrella term that encompasses both computer-mediated communication, the study of the style of online communication and the information it conveyed, and ICTs (information communication technologies), the machines themselves, the computers, the tablets, the smartphones, and mobile phones.
In Always On, Naomi Baron reveals that online and mobile technologies--including instant messaging, smartphones, multitasking, facebooking, blogs, and wikis--are profoundly influencing how we read and write, speak and listen.
