Thanks to the progress of information technology,
our daily lives are getting more convenient than before.
Now we cannot imagine life ( A ) this technology.
On the internet, we can get information we need, watch a variety of videos we like,
and buy goods we want. Moreover, we see some changes we did not experience several years ago. One of them is an online meeting. You may talk with people living far away, such as your grandparents or foreign students.
【 a 】 If your answer is “Yes,” you may know some strong points. We can save time and money to go to the place for a meeting.
During an online meeting with our grandparents who live in another town,
we do not have to stay together with them. We just turn on a computer at home, and then they appear in front of us. We can talk with them on the internet any time.
【 b 】 We can communicate with people
who are in foreign countries with little effort.
For example, in our classroom,
we can talk with students in a foreign school on the internet.
With the help of online meetings,
we can build global relationships with people in the world easily and quickly.
【 c 】 All the people in an online meeting must prepare their electronic devices,
and connect them to the internet. In addition, accidents may happen while we have an online meeting. For example, our online meeting suddenly stops by the trouble of the internet. So, our traditional face-to-face meetings still have strong points.
Which type of meetings is better for us?
It is difficult to answer this question, because online meetings
and face-to-face meetings have different strong points.
Therefore, when we try to meet someone,
we need to think about the situation of the person a
nd we should choose an online meeting or a face-to-face meeting by their
strong points.
In the near future, we will have more effective and impressive meetings than now. |
