In this section, the focus is on small group communication which involves interactions between three or more people. These individuals are connected through a common purpose, mutual influence, and a shared identity. While many communication skills from two-person interactions (dyadic communication) can be applied to small groups, the complexity of group interaction requires some adaptations and additional skills. The discussion includes characteristics, functions, and types of small groups.

I believe face-to-face communication is still highly valued in personal and professional relationships. Personally I believe it's easier to hold a FtF conversation, there's less awkward silence and the conversations flow better.

Some ways that CMC reduces stress in my life include being able to communicate with people from a distance and having access to helpful resources and information online. However, CMC can also increase stress in my life through addictions like social media, misinterpretation of messages, and the pressure to always be accessible. Overall, I believe CMC adds more stress than it reduces in my life.

In a typical day, I use the following types of CMC:

1. Email
2. Text messages
3. Instant messages
4. Video chat
5. Voice chat
6. Social media

I use email to communicate with colleagues and clients, and I use text messages to communicate with friends and family. I use instant messages to communicate with colleagues and clients, and I use video chat to communicate with friends and family. I use voice chat to communicate with colleagues and clients, and I use social media to communicate with friends and family.
