3. Access to diverse participants

Diversity can be obtained from a range of groups, geographical locations and across national boundaries.Enable members to gather across distances to exchange ideas.

1. Technological limitationsTechnology will fail. Receiving of messages in a non-chronological sequence can disrupt the flow of topic discussion.

2. Network trafficChat communication can become disjointed through lag caused by signal delays and overcrowded lines.Low speed modems when obtaining response rate via web survey/ problems of loading the questionnaire from home computers.

Ethical issues Obtaining the permission with the
