Modern communication issues (parody)

One may think modern tools help to get understood at work … well … not always. When modern tools deserve communication.

These guys made a great parody of what a conference call could be is frequently. Among others, you will notice:

• technical issues or wrong access code
• late attendees & waiting
• all speaking at the same time
• wrongly connected
• at home, on holidays, not alone
• prehistoric cavern echo (modern technology?)
• not exactly working (in other words, playing)
• leaving for other important work
• shared documents … or not
• and … thought somebody else was writing the minutes

and only missing maybe:

• language problems, in worldwide groups
• autoritative speaker(s)
• customer/supplier relation
• confidential information

btw, is that list not a starting point for writing specifications of a new communication tool?

(see article on cross-domain innovations)

And if you like some more, well, there is the great email parody also:

• box full
• out of the office activated
• too big attachment
• huge signatures or terms
• answers to all with no original or valuable content (“nice”, “well done” …)
• personal emails, spams
• …

btw, is that list not a starting point to see their tool … or start to write this company email policy so many times already procrastinated?
