It's not simple at all.
Sure, you cannot replace an in-person experience with an online experience with no other changes. But why would you? You can't replace a car ride with a motorcycle, but you can absolutely travel effectively with a motorcycle. Thinking there's only one way to work, and if that way doesn't work in all contexts the working context is correct, is just silly.

- void_mint 5y agoThis is just handwaved nonsense. You're telling me that prior to video calls, people didn't cultivate relationships on non-video phonecalls? Just total nonsense.

- void_mint 5y ago> Certain elements of successs are best deployed by actually showing up in person. Sure, but how does that relate to video calls? They are by definition not in person, camera or not.
- fuzzfactor 5y agoI think if you can be effective enough by showing up in person, there won't be a need for video calls.
- void_mint 5y ago> I think if you can be effective enough by showing up in person, there won't be a need for video calls. The opposite is true as well. Why show up in person when you can be effective remotely? I feel like we're just saying things now though.
- missedthecue 5y agoIt's harder to. Why do you think long distance relationships are so hard and fail more frequently? Building relationships is always easier face to face, whether it's a business, platonic, or romantic relationship.
