This answer is very simple yet complex, the larger the group the high the success based upon communication. Having more people means more ideas. When using CMC, people are more willing to share their thoughts and ideas openly because they aren’t faced to face with the other members, creating a more safe to speak environment. Larger group size also means bringing in many people of many backgrounds who can really share their individual experiences with each other and have a lot of different views. Diversity creates more topics of communication making a group only get stronger because they have so many ways of doing things. By using CMC, members are more likely to be more about their personal identities and will be able to speak their own opinions. There is less pressure put upon group member so they perform at maximum levels. The more the individuals are able to speak their own opinions the more they are able to feel connected as a whole in the group.
I agree that CMC allows people to be more willing to share their thoughts and idea. I also feel like I am more expressive of my feelings when I have time to write and think about what I am trying to convey. CMC does allow larger groups, which is a wonderful way to have more experiences shared from all the different backgrounds that come together. I never thought about CMC a good way to learn about our personal identities. I have noticed how I speak more about my opinion with this type of communication, and I feel like I have more time to collect all my thoughts and express my feelings.
