  • Summary

    This chapter argues that there are five enduring tensions in the use of media in relationships: hyper-coordination versus micro-coordination, personalized and purposeful messages versus generalized messages, contributing to the conversation versus virtual people watching, intentional attention versus incidental awareness, and routine access offline versus limited access offline. Each of these tensions describes how to conceptualize and understand the different ways of using personal media for social interaction and communication. These tensions are presented as dialectical tensions.
