ABSTRACT

I MAGINE THE WORLD one hundred years into the future; the use of electronic communications technology has developed to a point where people no longer meet and interact in face-to-face situations. Groups of people do not come together as a project team, work group, leisure group or self-help group. All communication and interaction is done electronically through computers. Would you enjoy living in such a world? Psychologically, do you think you would miss interaction with other people and working with others and interacting face-to-face in a small group?
