and more people like to chat on the Internet. We tend to pay more
attention to electronic communication than to face-to-face contact.
As electronic communication is not limited by space, we can chat with
others where there is Internet with our tools such as computers, mobile
phones and pads. However, when we chat with others online, we cannot
express our feelings fully. Just as the picture shows, the parents
cannot touch or hug their child. We know that body language plays an
important role in our communication, but the electronic communication
cannot do this. For example, when we are sad, we need more love and
warmth, a real hug from our parents or friends can mean much more to us
than just words through electronic communication.
Therefore,
though electronic communication brings convenience to our life, I still
don’t think the electronic communication can replace face-to-face
contact.
