In my opinion, electronic contact is not a substitute for face -to-face communition due to the following factors. First of all, over dependence on election contact will destroy interpersonal relationships because cold machine will never replace the warm greeting face to face. For example,elderly parents want their only child to go home more often than they would to chat with him on the Internet.
