Social media and collaboration tools can help organize, store, share, and find information. They allow users to collect, organize and share information through tasks like chatting, emailing, editing shared documents, and collaborating on projects. Common tools that support these functions include social networks, laptops, phones, email, search engines, and tools for audio/video recording and web publishing.
