In the absence of body language, communication on the internet is largely
dependent on the spoken or written word, which for business communication is
precisely just what is necessary.
However, latest technological innovations have imitated a large part of
social life on computer programs that induced people to forego physical
interaction to a more convenient, cost-efficient and a lot exciting virtual
counterpart. You need not embark on a
world-tour just to develop a multi-racial network of friends; social networking
sites, online gaming and thousands of discussion boards and forums can easily
open the flood gates of profiles on your laptop that soon enough you would have
your own version of the United Nations.
