Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electronic media can provide a platform for more people to share their ideas, as it can eliminate physical and social barriers that may prevent people from participating.

Answer: None of the statements except for A is true. 
 B, C, D, and E are false statements about electronic media. Electronic media may not be effective for solving complex problems due to the lack of nonverbal cues and immediate feedback. It may also create a communication barrier as it can be difficult to interpret tone or subtle nonverbal cues conveyed by a sender. While it may be efficient, it may not engender trust among users as compared to face-to-face communication. Lastly, electronic media can allow sensitive or private information to be leaked if the proper security measures are not in place.
