Communication Information and Media Technology

How are new media technologies changing the nature of communication and what is the impact on social and personal skills (such as language, literacy and numeracy)?
What is the impact of new technologies on domestic, leisure and professional relationships especially across interest or ethnic groups?
How can human factors be introduced into the design process for new technologies, and what are the limiting factors?
How do we interpret and communicate about our world through language and non-verbal communication?
How are literacy, knowledge and new media technologies related to exclusion and inclusion in society?
