In an increasingly digital world, where communication is as easy as pressing a
button, it’s easy to forget why it’s important to talk to people in person.
However, whether face-to-face communication is better than other types of communication, such as letters, emails, or telephone calls is a controversial issue. My view is that face-to-face communication remains the most efficient way of communication between people. Firstly, whether we’re talking with our team or communicating with a client or investor, email can cause more problems than it solves. Problem-solving is done better face-to-face. This means that Face-to-face interaction and socialization lead to a sense of community and camaraderie, which leads to a stronger working relationship in the long term. Moreover, In face to face communication, sensitive information is all revealed to the trusted person in a private setting. When private matters are discussed, face-to-face communication benefits you by holding no record of what is being discussed. This way, you know that only you and the person you are talking to have heard the information - as long as there's nobody behind you eavesdropping. That is not to say that face-to-face communication is the best in all situations. Of course, many people think that online communication is more convenient because Emailing and texting are faster especially if the other person you want to communicate with is in another country. These people are few, mostly introverts. In a nutshell, making the effort for face-to-face communication is worth it because the benefits of face-to-face communication are much more than the disadvantages.
