The challenges for working together are greater than ever before. Technology gives us a convenient way to communicate. However, technology also gives us a false sense of understanding one another. Most of our devices transmit words, a few graphics, and some video. We must use more words and more descriptions to overcome the narrow communications bandwidth of high tech devices.
Email is probably the most used, and abused of today's high tech tools.
Between all the junk mail messages are real correspondence. Unfortunately, even the email correspondence can be a poor source of information. Sometimes I get on a CC list of two people chattering back and forth. Whatever foolishness I receive, it takes me time to sort out and find the important messages. If the message you send is truly important, do something different.
