So today the group who were exploring synchronous communication were able to finally present although not without complication. They were due to present the same week that my group had done ours but they weren’t able to get the synchronous technology they were using, webex, to work. The idea they had for the presentation was really good but the sound was not working and so they substitsuted that with the loudspeaker on a mobile phone which kind of detracted from the effectiveness of the presentation. From that experience it is apparent the many difficulties that can be encountered with using these technologies. Obviously there are ways around these problems but what it comes down to is having correct and efficient infrastructure to support it. Australia seems to be very slow in upgrading it’s internet services but we are getting there and our internet is getting faster. Cheers to that.
