"'Postmodern babble has done little to help us understand how
contemporary communication technologies have changed our world.
This book fills a crucial gap in our knowledge by sticking to a
focus on how ordinary people actually interact with these
technologies. Using the insights of conversation analysis in an
easy to understand way, this impressive volume will be required
reading for students of work, technology, organizations and
cultural studies." David Silverman, Professor Emeritus of
Sociology, Goldsmiths' College, London
