Electronic communication cannot replace face-to-face contact The picture above vividly depicts a phenomenon that communication between young people and their parents is usually conducted through the Internet, and young people are addicted to the online world. Although the emergence of the Internet has changed the way of communication, I do not think that the choice of Internet communication can replace face-to-face communication. First of all, face-to-face communication is much better than electronic communication in improving parent-child relationship, because the former can better guarantee the honesty and authenticity of communication. Secondly, face-to-face contact can focus people's attention on what they say and can seriously consider these topics. Finally, and most importantly, face-to-face contact helps bridge the generation gap between parents and children. Because if the two sides can talk in such a direct way, the two sides can better facilitate communication. To sum up, although the Internet has greatly affected the way people communicate, it can never replace face-to-face communication.
