I think we need alternatives to text only communication. If we could judge each other's tones maybe we would chill out a bit.

- ssalazars 9y agoI definitely agree with this, however, most people moved away from verbal communication because it's an async process, and it removes any awkwardness from the interaction. Video conferencing is used occasionally. I think text-based communication is here to stay.
- ams6110 9y agoText can work OK between people who know each other well and are familiar with each other's patterns of speech and sense of humor. Not perfect, but generally OK. Much worse between people who aren't so well acquainted. I'm actually in the middle of trying to mediate a disagreement based mainly on two entirely different perceptions of intent in some stuff that was written in an email.
