In many workplaces, online communication is getting more common than meeting face-to-face. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

These days, it is becoming more popular for people to use the Internet to communicate than in-person

meetings

in many offices. Despite some obvious drawbacks of

this

trend, I believe that its benefits are greater. On the one hand, having computer

meetings

can cause misunderstanding. It is because some icons on the computer cannot explant clearly the emotion of people.

For example

, an email from

this

office to another office can include some negative words or icons that make others feel inferior. Meanwhile, people can express themself effectively when talking face-to-face. Another negative effect is network connection is unstable which leads to miss messages, lost emails, and low productivity.

On the other hand

, I would argue that the advantages of online

meetings

pale in comparison with the disadvantages. Communicating online allows employees to work more accessible and

comfortably

Replace the word

comfortable

show examples

.

For example

, employees who work from home in

this

branch can have a meeting with others in another branch.

Besides

, online platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams can offer features

such

as screen sharing, and recording, which make virtual

meetings

as effective as face-to-face ones. In conclusion, despite the several benefits that computer meeting has, it seems to me that they are far outweighed by the potential problems.
