Liquinn Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 What's better and why? Link to post Share on other sites
StalwartMind Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Neither, telepathy is the only way to do it right, screw distance. (Both ways are fine, I enjoy both, ergo online and in person both win, it's a glorious day when everyone is a winner!) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
casey.lives Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 technology is a barrier. telepathy is wrong. things you ChOOSE to say matter more than things you think. like when things you choose to do matter more than things you only think of doing. talking in person...body language is 80% of all communication. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
nouedis Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Neither are good forms of communication, because constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating, you know? However, I'd say in person it'd be better because you can see their true colors and if they're bluffing or not. Over the internet you can't see any of that, so you either continue instigating or leave the topic (depending if it was arguable or not). Link to post Share on other sites
disneyfan90 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 In person, hands down. I feel this is true for almost any situation. I've gotten close to people by talking to them in person and even on the phone--never online or through text. I know that social media is supposed to make people feel more connected, but I never feel connected by talking to someone online. I feel like I'm talking to a computer. But when I see someone in person I feel a sense of warmth that I don't get from technology. Link to post Share on other sites

Wewon Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Its the same reason that confessional booths are designed the way that they are; sitting side by side with a screen obscuring you and a oath of secrecy people will tell you about stealing from work and cheating on their spouse. Do you think people would be so open if confession was done face-to-face at a booth at Starbucks over coffee? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
