Carolyn Marvin is the author.

can't remember

>Also, I know that "hello" used to be considered vulgar and
rude to use on

least according

>Hello AoIR list,

>I'm at work on a MA thesis, and I'm searching for some
literature on the
>development of social codes around new technologies, specifically
>technologies of communication. Particularly I'm looking for some
>historic context--how did/do things like "phone manners"
evolve? How do
>we learn what's "rude" or "polite"? How did we decide that
all caps in
>email means "yelling"? How localized is the development of
these kinds
>of rules or codes? And are these codes constantly in flux or
do they
>ever stabilize?
>
>Any resources or places to look would be most helpful.

>Thanks,
