But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive. High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration. Through computer networking, scientists, engineers and technicians at different locations---often thousands of miles apart---can work on the same project at once. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs and test their results.

　　Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system, a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate (模拟) a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.

　　Of course, computer朼ssisted team effort doesni’t end with investigation and simulation. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing and testing. “Computer朼ided design (CAD) and computer朼ided manufacture (CAM) are breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions,rk” explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. “Interdisciplinary teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.”

　　Sometimes a computer朼ided effort can extend beyond production. A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depth. For high杢echnology team work, the future seems limitless.
