This document compares face-to-face communication and text-based communication. Face-to-face communication involves non-verbal cues like body language, eye contact, and gestures that aid in conveying meaning. It allows for more natural turn-taking and feedback. However, text-based communication lacks these cues and is more important for self-esteem. While text is less engaging, it is more efficient in terms of speed and saves time compared to face-to-face interaction.
