Summary:E-collaboration, while having its roots in electronic technology such as telephones and other rudimentary electronic devices, has expanded dramatically with today's plethora of computer-supported cooperation and computer-mediated communication.

In order words, how are the users adapting not only to the technologies themselves, but to the new world of work that the technologies have created?
