b. How do you compare virtual communication and face-to-face communication?

Communication comprises a sender, message and recipient. This process will be completed when the receiver comprehends the sender's message. To make conversations more comfortable and convenient people use either of the methods- virtual and face-to-face.In virtual communication a recipient doesn’t need to be present. It lets us talk to people no matter what location they’re in. It is more likely to be non-verbal. Using virtual communication helps us to keep in touch with the people even if they are busy and not able to meet up. Various social networking sites and apps are common platforms to have virtual communication. It’s easier to organize and share all of the information we want when we communicate virtually.  

Face-to-face communication needs both the sender and the recipient to be present, and response immediately. When we talk to somebody face-to-face, we can actively notice their level of attention in our conversation. It helps us build personal relationship and socialize. It prevents our communicating skill to be rusty. With our body language and tone, we can express what we want to talk about very precisely. Message can be easily understood by the concerned parties as both verbal and non-verbal ways are used in face-to-face communication. It is better for illiterate person as they don't understand written messages. Conversation on the telephone or cell phone and chatting through internet are oral communication but cannot be termed as face to face communication.
