Technology for Collaboration
Collaboration for work and school has become much easier since technology has made communication possible between people who may not live anywhere near each other. Workers no longer travel to meetings in the next town or state, or on another continent. Instead, they connect using technology that allows sharing of documents and ideas in real time. Similarly, students still work on team assignments, but many of them do so in their homes using communications technology.
