Communicating in networks
The book defines communication network as a groups of individuals who may be identified as sharing regular lines of communication - have become a primary mode of organizing in the new economy . The virtual world has taken over organizations all around the world. The communication is much different, it has its pros and cons. I think some pros would be you get to understand the perspective of somebody Else's view say from India. Sometimes that communication can be miss construed. Personally i never worked in the virtual world as part as a team. The cons would be never really being able to establish that personal relationship with them in person. (Chapter 8, pg 256)

I see being able to do work on the internet as a good thing. Everyone checks their e-mails always, so being able to keep in touch is much easier than say playing phone tag with someone. However, I think forming relationships is actually a much easier thing than people think. King of the hill did an episode about Hank's company going on myspace. Bill one of Hank's friend, said the internet is a great thing because you can open up to someone without getting that face to face rejection you would in person. So maybe for some people it's easier, but for others it is not.
