With an increasing population communicating via the Internet and text-messaging, face-to-face communication will become a thing of the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the rapid development of technology, some people believe that face-to-face

communication

will be totally replaced by other ways of communicating through the Internet. Personally, I strongly disagree with

this

statement. From a security perspective, Internet

communication

is not completely secure and it could be secretly accessed by hackers and sometimes government organizations.

For example

, in 2015, NSA was found to have been reading all emails and listening to numerous phone calls of American citizens, and even in 2016, the phone of Germany prime minister was

also

found to be tapped by the CIA.

Moreover

, hundreds of security holes have been found during the

last

few years.

Although

most of them have been fixed quickly, security experts believe that numerous messages of Android users have been read by hackers. These examples prove that if any important conversations are online, they are at risk of being hacked,

hence

, face-to-face

communication

is the only solution for

this

critical problem. Another point that makes face-to-face

communication

irreplaceable is physical contact. When people meet each other face to face, they could not only talk but

also

touch each other

such

as handshakes or hugs, which better enhance their conversations.

Besides

, meeting face-to-face can create real feelings that online chatting simply cannot create.

For instance

, some people can share their thoughts on various problems as well as their feelings with friends. Despite the novel technological advance, I deem that face-to-face

communication

still plays an integral part in our lives.
