Teleconferencing

Do you think that human interaction is getting too impersonal?

Teleconferencing used to be a fixture in sci-fi flicks. Of course, this is anything but science fiction today. In fact, you’re probably having a cam-to-cam conversation right now with somebody who’s several states or continents away.

I have no qualms in conversing with somebody electronically, be that through e-mail, instant messaging programs, or even bulletin board systems (I know, I know, too passé). However, nothing beats talking with somebody face to face while having a good cup of coffee, especially if that somebody is someone very dear to you. But if it’s your boss, then I guess you would agree with me that you’d rather communicate with him through BBS :)

Technology will definitely change the way we communicate, if it hasn’t already. It will most likely make the same all the more impersonal, but it will definitely make it more convenient.
