Topic of Discussion - Sociocultural and Technical Elements

Do you think access to new communication tools such as social media, text messaging, Skype, etc. makes a differencein the processing and ultimate success of a project?

I am not really knowledgeable about the new communications tools that are out here. Also, I really don't know how to respond to this question. I am a kinesthetic learner, and at times I have difficulty understanding concepts and content. Can you help me?
