Questions:

1) Message distorted in the exercise?

Ms Nicolia Oak from our group felt a bit distracted by the rest of the room bursting into laugh since she altered parts of the actual story.

Mr Dusan Mijovski felt the exercise entertaining but could not in the beginning get the actual reason of it.

2) Difference transmitetted virtually - same physical space?

Ms Aida Tahiri felt that she could not fully pay attention since the other person when the lack of "normal" human gestures. made it harder.

Ms Sydney Gilbert, Emilie Bégin and Yuka Nagahashi felt that timing was really important and making sure that just one person talked at the same time, since if several people were talking at the same time alot of the message could
be lost.

3) What did we learn?

That this type of technology is good but could never beat the traditional way of meeting.

Cheers!
