You will not have to be corpo authenticly in the room, because a realistic(prenominal)(prenominal) room give the gate be created to meet. 5. Reduce pretermit of time †As we do not have to be physically at any place, peck will not lose time moving.No buses, no cars, no traffic bottle will be a problem of everyday. * * Stress reduction will produce the greatest change. This disease is a plumping problem among employees and base cause a lot of problems at bottom the caller-up. Not just in the production, it can cause conflicts, disagreements, misunderstandings, etc. A bad surroundings inside the company is not good for employee’s productivity. So if a computer program can cultivate it, why not prove? Q2 * How does Lotus Sametime guard collaboration? What are the additional benefits of the virtual(prenominal) surroundings? Lotus sametime is not just a program to maintain mickle in contact.This program can create a relation amidst employees inside the organization. Most of people can get intimately in contact through programs than in rattling life. In the same way, it can improve the communication between areas, information can be soft shared and customer will be highly satisfied. Some another(prenominal) additional benefits of this virtual environs are: * Employee’s knowledge can be all discovered. * Permanent communication between among areas. * nictitation screen compartment. * Geo-location services. Q3 * What types of communication are integrated at bottom Sametimes digital environment?What type of communication is wanting? Does it make a release? * Reciprocal †it goes between dickens or more people ever-changing rolls. * Linguistic and extra-linguistic †People pass away through recognise board (chatting) or using some acquainted(predicate) codes. * Private and public †The communication inside the company can be priva te when it hands between two employees or public when it goes to everyone in the organization. (In fact, it is not wholly private because the conversation can be followed for the database system. ) * courtly †The messages use a formal code match to the organization policies. Horizontal and vertical †It can occur in a same range people or from boss to assistant. What is missing here is the physical or interpersonal communication. It can make the difference because when people talk they express a lot of feelings. The main advantage is that employees will not distinguish if the other one is tired or in another bad situation. Q4 * Do you think that â€Å"virtual collaboration” using shapes is more or less effective than traditional methods of collaboration (which include face-to-face, change of location to meetings, telephone conference calls, email, and instant messaging)?Compare it with the cisco Telepresence technology and support your answer. In my opinion, t he use of an avatar is a way to blot out out real temper. I mean that people can hide and try to create a second personality to look in a good way to people in the company. However, the effectiveness of the program is totally ensured as we saw in the advantage. On the other hand, it is not sure that other one rump the monitor is real your co-worker. Accounts can be stolen; in fact passwords can be stolen by virtual hackers. So I think that this kind of virtual collaboration could be used in a real emergency or to get meeting.It is really useful for meetings. If we compare it with cisco telepresence technology I can say that offers a safer communication between people, because it is face to face. Of course the main disadvantage is that people must be at the same time in the meeting to start it. Further, using cisco you can see face expressions so it can help you to negotiate in a meeting. Lastly, cisco telepresence is a more formal way to communicate and if an organization need t o have a more related company, it must organize the areas functions.\r\n'
