Abstract
Emphasizing that the “culture in which the Internet is used” permeates “discourse on the Internet,” this essay offers reflections on discourse (1) about the Internet, (2) communication technologies across time, (3) the future, (4) discourse online, and (5) the importance of discourse today. Final comments highlight questions about how Internet use may reshape discourse, community, people's perceptions, and communication behavior.Keywords
