Do you prefer online chatting? That’s interesting-I’d love to know why. Do you think online ("written-chating") communication can fully replace aka real-life interaction (athough via, say, Zoom)? I would really appreciate it if you could elaborate on your view.

I do prefer chat, but I already have people to chat with.

It doesn’t replace face to face interactions, but video calls are the worst of all worlds. You’re on the spot and can’t even move around in your chair and you lose the sense of connection from actual eye contact.

But also, I’m just not looking for more people to interact with in the first place.
