In this week's lecture, we discussed at length how the need to understand group work in our new distributed communication landscape led to some significant shifts in HCI/HCD theory and practice. Social psychology and its associated methodologies and sense of empiricism joined the designer's toolkit, and our means of data collection, interpretation, and design process had to consider more than the "efficiency" and "task" perspectives of old.

For this reflection assignment, give 3 unique examples of how social psychology and the presence of the "other" can influence the design of technological interventions, the design of services and tools, or the structure of information and interactions in organizational hierarchies.
