The debate surrounding whether online communication has greater advantages than face-to-face meetings has garnered significant attention. Although, some believe otherwise, I firmly believe that online communication yields profound benefits as compared to one-to-one formal interactions.
The primary reason is that this development proves to be more convenient, as it requires less time to formally prepare oneself for the meeting. It diminishes the total time taken such as conveyence, wear formal clothes to look presentable. Therefore, it works as a motivating force for people to interact more effectively and efficiently. For instance, they can make decision for the organisation better if they are well-motivated. Along with that, this technological advancement enables businesses to communicate with other businesses around the globe with ease and with speedy delivery of messages. With the advent of messaging apps like Whatsapp and Instagram, it has been easier to remain up-to-date with events happening globally as adolescents can deliver and recieve information within milliseconds. On an organisational level, it had made interchanging information to make deals, employ people with relevent qualities and characterstics much easier. This would not have been possible without apps like Zoom and Google Classroom.
However, it has it downsides as well. Online communication is heavily dependent on the speed of internet service in the areas, because any wi-fi disruptance can result in serious halts in communication. This, in turn, can disappoint the second party leading to unsuccessful deals regardless of acquiring the required qualities. Moreover, there is a high risk involving cybercrime activites. Hackers can hack an organisation’s system if they are not fully secured of encrypted. This can result in major downfall as it puts company’s finance, its assests at a big risk.
To conclude, I would like to say that advantages of online communication outweigh the disadvantages. Not only it saves time, but amkes it easier for people.
