CMC has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Its advantages include the fact that it is not limited by time or location, that it is inexpensive, that it ensures superior reach, facilitates information archiving, and provides instant feedback. It also helps to bridge communication gaps and bring people together.

Disadvantages. While computer-mediated communication can be beneficial, technological mediation can also inhibit the communication process. Unlike face-to-face communication, nonverbal cues such as tone and physical gestures, which assist in conveying the message, are lost through computer-mediated communication.

Computer-mediated communication (CMC), wherein people use computers and networks to communicate with one another, makes communication across great distances and different time zones convenient, eliminating the time and geographic constraints of in-person communication.

CMC: Computer Maintenance Corporation The official name of CMC at the time of its establishment was Computer Management Corporation Private Limited. The organization became a public limited corporation in 1977.
