Much of the discussion of technology published in psychological journals to date has centered around the idea of communication richness, the extent to which technology allows for rich virtual means of communication such that parties can communicate in real-time [e.g., @Kirkman.Mathieu2005]. Such a focus details how communication in teams is richer for its ability to bridge distances and space, but is necessarily generic in looking at communication broadly rather than a close examination of the processes through which teams are given leverage by complex technologies. Others have examined how to understand cognition when it merges both the human mind and the technological scaffolds it can build on [@Fiore.Wiltshire2016], integrating broad theoretical perspectives and breaking ground upon which this paper seeks to build.
Efforts to try other wordings:
the dimensions of present and future technologies
these pathways or dimensions, and to consider how they interplay with existing taxonomies of team processes."interplay" - there's room here for a colorful word, something that connotes dancing synergistically
