| The Art of Working In A Virtual Environment |
| In some regards, the move to video mirrors the transition from telephone calls and physical letters to email; a plunge into a new paradigm, with sociological norms far behind the technology. However, the video transition has been faster and more pervasive, and the short time frame involved has driven remarkable change, both positive and negative. While participation by larger numbers of people is possible, the quality of participation is hugely varied. It is not enough to accept this and anticipate a return to the 'old normal' – some elements of the video world are here to stay, and it is essential that we learn to utilize them in the best possible ways. |
