Since the show is filmed in a documentary or cinema verite style, characters often look at the camera, or even say their lines to the camera for added comedic effect. In this situation, Ann casts many uncomfortable looks at the camera as Leslie unloads all of the study materials, snacks, and energy drinks from the dolly she has loaded-up for Ann's all-night cram session. Ann looks at the camera in order to avoid actually telling Leslie that she is not as excited about the interview as her friend. Keeping the format of the show in mind, it is more complicated to determine whether or not the camera acts as an intermediary in the conversation, but since the camera offers no actual verbal input of its own, we will argue here that there is no intermediary in the conversation. Despite Ann's uncomfortable looks at the camera, she does actually communicate her concerns to Leslie, once she is finally done unloading the litany of study materials from the dolly. Leslie in turn responds to Ann and successfully convinces her to attend...
These exchanges meet the criteria of immediate feedback, and because the two friends are facing each other in person, and even reach out to physically touch at one point, they are experiencing the maximum sensory input through sight, sound, and touch.

Communication Electronic communication has become one of the most important methods for people to communicate with one another in recent years. Spielberg (1999) noted that patients have sought to utilize electronic communication with their physicians.

Corporate communications involves not just the message, but the idea that communications are managed, and are connected to corporate objectives (Cornelissen, 2004). Therefore, when communication possibilities were limited, corporate options were limited, and one did not see communications management perspectives that advocated the type of intimate connection between communications and corporate strategy that one sees in a modern context (Cornelissen, 2004). What this makes clear is that CC is
" According to Short, Williams, and Christie (1976; cited by Van Den Hooff, Groot & De Jonge, 2005), Social Presence Theory notes that "communication media differ in the degree to which they can communicate (or simulate) the social presence of the communication partners through the use of social cues (both verbal and nonverbal cues)."
