The articles are no longer in a list format, so you need to conduct a search.  You need to integrate this article into your discussion post.  PLEASE INCLUDE THE CITATION FOR THIS ARTICLE.
3. Finally, evaluate the importance of monitoring the effect of technology on workflow.
4. Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses. Focus particularly on questions raised for which you can add comments based on your experiences or situations. (See Discussion section for full details).
