Technology is a two edge sword. The fact that I can video conference people from all over the world is a phenomenal thing to think about. But all of my joy and saying "hey this is neat" stops when I have problems with whatever software I am using. We encountered this in our Google Hangout just a few days ago. A few members of our team were not able to access the video for lack of network connection. Nathan and I had good reception from home. It just goes to show that you cannot rely solely on PowerPoints and Google Docs and Excel sheets to get things done for you.
During the entire project we have been using a Google Doc that has been very helpful in helping receive real time feedback with regards to the material that we researched and our material that we wrote for the report.
I love being able to interact with people and find a balance in a group setting. There will always be a need to set aside differences for the good of the team and it is fulfilling to see the final product when all is said and done.
