Summary/Abstract: Computer mediated communication has become an everyday experience for the majority of us, living in the developed countries. The new social phenomena related to both interpersonal and mass media communication are not limited to digital natives who grew up connected. The most visible change in the mediated communication can be found: in choosing the communication tools and channels (depending on the expected result of the communication process), the need for constant connectedness with everyone (online), and the reluctance to make telephone conversations among frequent internet users. This article presents complex social phenomena of technologically mediated communication in the light of recent literature and the results of a social experiment, during which participants declared that they had stayed offline for 7 days.
