Contemporary technology produces new tools faster than we can learn to use them wisely, and many of them are not tailored for the applications we need, in augmenting collaboration. This lack of adequate tools has, fortunately, led me to concentrate on the human side of technology, training for techniques. Procedures and protocols for tool use and training are critical structures to create. In particular, we must go beyond communication in attempting to share large, complex missions that require new perspectives and paradigms. I will briefly outline some of these projects.
