Technology definately helped my group out with our client project. We all had very conflicting schedules and were very busy, it was often hard to physically get together and meet. We communicated mostly as a group via email.
Without email at our service it would have been impossible to finish this project. For example, this past week I was out of town from Wednesday until Today and we had a big part of pur project due, the presentation. I could not be physically present at the group meetings so I emailed my input to the group.
We also used email to communicate with the other groups, when we decided we wanted to collaborate with them on a facebook group. Email was really the only form of technology I would say we really took advantage of.
I would say that technology also may have hindered our project slightly. When I saw some of the other groups proposals, the websites and groups that they came up with, I was impressed. As a group I would say we are not very technical saavy and I for one have no clue how to do some of the things they put together.

Ethics
I am surprised on how many results I have gotten so far searching for memos. I have found tons of articles talking about memos covering up many things related to politics and government mostly, including alien and UFO cover ups (So far I have mostly just found articles about memos and not the actual memos).
It seems that ethical lapses are common in the world of business and politics, and I am not surprised. Everyone wants to get to the top and sadly a lot of people will do anything to get there. What has surprised me is the fact that so many people, after seeing many others get caught, are still choosing to try and pass on important/incriminatory information in memos. From this I have learned that memos are indeed a very common method of communication in the work world and I probably will be writing a lot of them in the future.
When I enter the workforce/go to grad school and begin to write all of these menus, I hope to stick to my own set of ethical principles. I try not to do anything just because someone told me to, but to think before I act. I try and think about what the consequences of these actions may be. I think how they might effect other people or things ( the environment, animals). I try and think if I might have any regrets, if I can be proud of my actions. My ethical principles are to be truthful and not just think about myself, I want to be helpful to others and a responsible/respectable person, setting examples for others to follow.
