This morning we had a meeting with our business advisor located in Auckland, New Zealand by internet video meeting. We are currently testing Skype, ooVoo, Logicool Vid and Michrosoft LiveMeeting. Each one has good points and bad points but anyway its nice to be in the 21st century, thanks to the advancement of technology we can communicate with people in thouthounds miles away as if we are facing each other.
Some research evidences shows that we use verbal cummunication only 35% of all our communication channels even those are unconscious. Besids that we mostly rely on non-verbal communication ways such as body langage, apeparance, facial expressions, eye contacts, touchings, smells, tone of voice, distancing and even silencing. By telephone we only use voice related channels but with video screen thare are several other information added so it's easier to communicate.
However, no matter the technology advanced, nothing can replace face to face meetings. You know, sometimes I feel like to meet you!
