Exactly. We’ve had long-distance telephone for a long time, and it actually works much better than the audio of most internet teleconferencing I’ve experienced. It’s not a complete substitute for face to face communication.

> Humans communicate so much better face to face.

No, they don't. They communicate more, but not better.

It depends.

I find that the lack of massive volume of communication that is face-to-face can be beneficial, but often it needs to be more structured. Without this structure, non-FtF communication is just FtF without the nuances.

how many GVCs do you have where people are connecting from their desk or rooms on different floors of the same building? It happens a lot. Can’t be that bad.

It's not that it's impossible to communicate through GVC, but most people interact very differently with those they only know through a screen vs. those they've met in person.
