In regards to online communication, I think it is not uncommon to face challenges in terms of comprehending the content and ensuring that there is a compelling play of words. I have often felt that I have not been successful enough in communicating the right emotion or making my point across smoothly. This doesn’t happen during face-to-face communication, and it can save a lot of time because there are very fewer misunderstandings. Also, for academic communication, I think we have specific targets to meet and particular objectives to remember. In online communication, this could be a challenge because I would not understand if the idea I wanted to share has been taken in the right way.
