I think part of this is a natural process that happens between generations. (The blog post I link here was the result of hearing over and over that older people don't adopt technology unless they are told to. I wanted to see if anyone had researched this to see if it was really true)

I remember the use of word processing changed the "accuracy" of drafts and the ability to write (work) collaboratively. There was also a fear that using PC's or Mac's would allow for some to have access to information. Meanwhile, those of us using it, would go ahead and show how these technologies could be used, often missing some of the "social processes" that face to face discussion and collaboration afforded.

I do think, though, that leadership can bridge the generations, and what worked in the past needs to change with the skills and knowledge of new employees.
