With the rapid growth of high technology, computer,telephone and other communication tools havebecome more and more important in our daily life, sowhat people have gradually ignored face to facecommunications.
If I were asked whether face-to-face communicationis better than other forms of communications, such as email, phone calls or letters, I wouldchoose email and phone calls. Here I am going to enumerate some reasons to support mychoice.
The main reason is that communication by telephone or by e-mail is more convenient. Thereis no need to make appointment with friends before meetings; all you need is just to remembertheir phone numbers or email addresses. Wherever you are and whenever it will be,communication is as easy as face-to-face talking. Moreover, it is more efficient for people tocommunicate.
Another important reason is that the way people connect by email can make more friends. Ihave many friends on the Internet and we communicate each other regularly, so I have gainedmore information and knowledge in many other fields.
Last but not least, indirect communication such as emails and phone calls can avoid directconfrontation and embarrassment. Sometimes we may not feel comfortable to borrowsomething or ask for a favor from our friends, because we do not know their reactions. At thistime, an email or a phone call can be more convenient and can avoid embarrassment.
If all these factors are contemplated ,the advantages of communication through email ortelephone carry more weight than those of face-to-face communication.
