There are difficulties in communicating over the phone and video.
I don't know if others agree but during the Pandemic I've felt that the quality of TV news programming has gone down considerably because of the people interviewed or the reporters are behind a zoom etc. connections of questionable quality. It is often hard to understand what they say and it is not so pleasant trying to listen to them over the lo-fi connection.
So I think that until the tech of virtual meetings improves considerably there's an extra cost for not being able to communicate in person.
- bennyelv 6y agoEven on a fairly high quality connection, you still lose a significant proportion of the non-verbal communication on a video call. The fidelity just isn't the same when you're looking at the slightly laggy image of a person on a small screen vs being able to see them in real life. It presents real challenges working with people that you don't already know in person.
