The advent of technological innovation brings us convenient life. Without face-to-face communication, we can communicate with each other. Some people might think that communication by only letters and voice brought by technological development is better than "traditional" face-to-face communication. I admit its convenience and potential possibility as communication method. However, I think face-to-face communication is the best method of communicating with others, since it can inform our message to others more correctly.

Gesture and face expression with face-to-face communication give us much information which help us understand other' s intention correctly. Some people often hide their real thought. Others read letters and listen to other's talking too subjectively. Therefore, I am sure that limited information by indirect communication methods such as telephone, letters, internet and so on tend to cause misunderstanding.

Face-to-face communication helps us to make more intimate relationship with others. Certainly, it is difficult and tough to say what we think to others directly because we have to deal with other reaction immediately. However, through the experience we learn to understand the listeners without serious misunderstanding. Then, when we accept their character or manage to respect their opinion, we can establish good relationship with others.

In this way, face-to-face communication is difficult and inconvenient. But its troublesome characters enable us to inform correct message to others and to make others more intimate relationship.
