Spoken communication is more powerful than written communication. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is an opinion that face-to-face interaction is more powerful than communication via text. I disagree with

this

thought because writing gives more

time

to the sender to shape their argument and it

also

implies the

reader’s

imagination. Communicating through text allows the informing person to ponder the message by giving an extra moment to form the idea. When people speak, there is almost no

time

to think about what to say. It is crucial for introverted people who rely on long-term memory and the parts of the brain responsible for processing information rather than impulsive thoughts. They tend to either stay silent during real-

time

conversations or say something inappropriate or misleading failing to deliver their true meaning.

However

, writing down a prepared text helps

such

people to compose a clear message to say what they really mean. Another powerful aspect of written communication is that it allows one to choose words meticulously to add more space for the

reader’s

imagination. The writer can play with the

reader’s

mind by either leaving some details out or giving extra ones for more elaboration. Those exquisite words are very hard to find when you speak in real

time

because they are not a part of everyday conversations.

For instance

, book authors apply different word-playing techniques into their books,

thus

putting the reader on the hook of their writing style, which are much more powerful tool for drawing the

reader’s

attention than if those stories were told on the spot. In conclusion, despite the belief that speaking might have some benefits over written communication, I disagree, because the latter gives writers spare

time

to form messages to help them deliver their ideas.

Furthermore

, they

also

can use a particular writing style to take control over the

reader’s

imagination and attention.
