  • #quote "Moreover, __communication technology__ is so thoroughly embedded in modern member interactions that it is __inappropriate to conceptually separate member interaction from the technology that facilitates it__. As previously stated, ^^communication technology can facilitate process, but it also allows for new process behaviors^^. For instance, members now have the ^^ability to create visual representations of the collaborative process^^ (e.g. scaffolds: Cuevas, Fiore, & Oser, 2002) ^^through the use of communication technology^^. In other words, ^^__communication technologies__ now allow members to __interact and accomplish teamwork__ in ways that are __fundamentally different from prior **collocated** contexts__^^. Therefore, the conceptualization and investigation of team process should reflect the ^^inherent inseparability of humans and technology by considering the use of technology to be a part of process.^^

  • #quote __"However, it is not sufficient to say that members use technology fulfill their needs; technology also inspires advances in member interaction. For instance, team members may use videoconferencing or teleconferencing to exchange ideas with a team member in another geographic location. This aspect extends the potential reach of each member in ways that would not be possible without the use of technology. Likewise, members may use email as a means of establishing a repository of team correspondence. Teams may also set up automatic task and meeting reminders in project management software (e.g. Basecamp), which can serve to automate their coordination. Thus, technology also provides new aspects of process that could not be achieved by without these platforms. Therefore, while technology can be seen as a facilitator of member actions, it also provides phenomenological changes to teamwork, and is a fundamental aspect of __how __team members work together."__
