About this ebook
QuickRead presents a summary of Because Internet by Gretchen McCulloch:
Learn how the internet has changed the way we communicate and what our online interactions reveal about who we are.
Have you ever wondered how a simple punctuation mark in a text message can mean anger or passive aggression? Or how a simple "lol" can make even the rudest messages nice? Well, thanks to Gretchen McCulloch, we can now get an in-depth explanation of how the internet has changed the way we communicate online. In the past, published writing was forced to go through a series of proofreads and edits; however, nowadays our social media updates, blog posts, and even articles can be written by anyone who wishes to share information with the world. The internet has led to an increase in informal writing which is constantly changing and evolving as quickly as language itself. So if you've ever found yourself wondering how to punctuate a text or where a meme came from, McCulloch answers these questions and more throughout her book, Because Internet.
