Face-to-face meetings with people are much more effective than meetings held on the telephone or via the Internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is suggested that on-site

meetings

are more productive than online ones. I fully agree with

this

statement and will present evidence to back up my assertion. There are several issues faced by people attending online which makes it non-productive.

Firstly

, a stable internet is essential for smooth online

meetings

. It's very rare and to some extent impossible for everyone to have fast internet available at their disposal,

for instance

, I had a hard

time

joining an important business meeting because of poor network latency

due to

which my boss became really upset.

Furthermore

, those of did manage to join

meetings

with poor network speed resulted in poor audio and video transmission which made the

overall

experience bitter for everybody.

Secondly

, It is a challenge to maintain order in massive online

meetings

. During the coronavirus pandemic, a period when all educational institutions pivoted to online lectures for teaching, since it was usually delivered to a multitude of students and it was common for them to have doubts and

thus

they interrupted and interrogated throughout the lectures and

therefore

it became almost impossible for a single faculty member to conduct discipline throughout the session.

Finally

, varying

time

zones make it difficult to schedule

meetings

and communicate in

real

time

.

Time

zones across the globe vary drastically

for example

, if a meeting is scheduled in Japan and someone living in Canada is expected to join it

then

that individual will have to wait for about 8 hours before the meeting actually begins, because if it's morning in Canada

then

it's night in Japan which makes it very hard to coordinate. In conclusion, I don't recommend online

meetings

since there are various technical and management challenges involved.
