Research shows that business meetings, discussions and trainings are happening nowadays. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

Investigation has found that, technology improved the way of corporate meetings, trainings and discussions are taking place through online,

such

as, using Skype, Email, Dropbox and an authorised website. I believe

this

has more benefits than drawbacks. On the one hand, conducting these kind of

business

activities may have major advantages. The

first

benefit is that, it saves time of travelling to work. One clear example is, when people go out to attend an important

business

work, they may face inconvenient situations

such

as, stuck in traffic for long periods of time.

However

, if people use the internet they can join the meeting anytime they want. Apparently,

this

online communication brings more facilities for people who are far away from home.

For instance

, when someone is on vacation, but there’s an emergency discussion that they have to

make

engage in

do

with their

business

partners. In that case, video conference would be a great way of communication with other members. What is more about

this

technological advancement, it helps people to share documents and files easily where they can edit the file if it is needed to be edited.

On the other hand

, attending

business

work on the internet sometimes difficult for people who have the technical limitations, especially elderly people may face problem joining the online conference. When they were young they did not have the chance of learning technology due to poor technological advancement. To illustrate, elderly people may have the difficulty using latest technology and software, in that situation the other members cannot communicate with them properly and will lose the track of their discussions. I believe, it will not make a successful meeting for a few people, but if they are trained well

then

that would be an effective communication way. To conclude, I would

therefore

argue that

although

there are disadvantages of the current technological advancement they are outweighed by the advantages. Online links will bring more merits than demerits in the near future.
