Editing Collaboration tool (section)

==== From simple communication solutions to [[Unified communications|Unified Communications]] (UC) ====
The way we communicate with each other is constantly changing and disrupts our workplace environment. In 1971 programmer [[Ray Tomlinson]] sent the first message between two computers. Eight years later [[Usenet]], a multi-network online forum, changed the way how we exchange information. With [[Internet Relay Chat|IRC]] in 1986, instant-messaging and group chatting became accessible for non-technical users for the first time and after the launch of [[AOL/AIM]] in 1992 we already faced the first global community. The invention of [[Wikipedia]] in 2001 and various social networks ([[Myspace|MySpace]], [[LinkedIn|Linkedin]] and [[Facebook]]) forms a community that is connected to the digital world, globally oriented and willing to use collaboration tools not only for social interaction, but to enhance the efficiency at the workplace.<ref>{{Cite web|title = The Power of Business Collaboration Tools|url = https://halobi.com/2013/06/infographic-the-power-of-business-collaboration-tools/|website = halobi.com|access-date = 2015-10-31|last = Major|first = Ray|publisher = Halo Business Intelligence|date = 2013}}</ref>
