Imagine that you are
talking to a colleague or
classmate who is halfway
across the world. You are
talking without using a
telephone and you can see
each other as though you
were in the same room. Now
imagine that your colleague
or classmate opens a
document that you are both
working on, and you can see
it and make changes to it,
without a fax machine, and
without an email. You can
stop imagining.
