Interpersonal rapport.

The whole e-mail, blogging, text messenging, instant-messenger, and chat room scene. . . . Is this a superficial or real form of communication?

By definition, it is a form of communication. . .Yet, there are all the normal things that are usually obvious that we miss because of this form of communication: body language, tone, expression, and the such. Is it possible that we may get along with someone perfectly fine or even really well in an on-line setting but we might be at each other's throats if we met them in person? Is it possible that you can't truly get to know someone without seeing their expressions and the such or even know their smell?

There is a definite positive side of it all . . . Sometimes it is easier to witness to someone you have never seen. . . It also gives you time to think and respond with prayer. .. I also get to see the different depths of my friends that I don't always get to see otherwise. . . Sometimes it is easier to type something than to say it outloud.

There are some things that we all know from each other by just our first impression of them. . . without a face to face encounter, that whole step is missed and it leaves us with preconceived ideas and notions about the other person. Is this fair? Can they be correct? I really just don't know how I feel on this matter.

I really wish I had comments, because I really want to know what people think. . .
