The Digital Whiteboard Dilemma: More Harm Than Good?

Digital whiteboards, the modern office tool meant to foster creativity and collaboration, might actually be stifling meaningful communication and complex thought. With their roots in design thinking, these platforms encourage the use of sticky notes for brainstorming, leading to fragmented and superficial discussions rather than substantive dialogue. Critics argue that this approach, which prioritizes form over function, fails to effectively capture and convey the complexity of ideas, mirroring past criticisms of tools like PowerPoint in critical settings.
