I doubt that we are good enough social engineers yet to really control
or predict the amount of groupthinkness that this or that system might
embody. Telephones "encourage" teletag, while email doesn't. That's
simply one of the differences between those two media.
The degree to which the Information Lens, Coordinator, EIES, UseNet, or
whatever do or do not contribute to groupthink is a question for
empirical study, and will characterize them (in part, of course) as
we discuss them in the future.
