Hello Dukascopy members,

It is a very late hour, but I was just having chat with some of my friends, as well as my new friends here in dukascopy and then an idea struck my mind that nowadays we are so used to and addicted to virtual communication that sometimes we even replace the real communication by the virtual one...((( and this is actually very sad What about emotions, our mimics, gestures and physical as well as eye contact which is that important during a real conversation between people...????

Sure enough, the virtual conversation has its own advantages and pluses For example in case of the girls, you don't have to put on make up or a beatiful dress when communicating via internet, and in case of the boys, they don't have to take you to some nice place - e.g. a cafe, restaurant , etc. instead they can be sitting on the sofa, with their underwear holding a bottle of bear

Besides, in virtual world we are more free of complexes and obstacles that don't let us be more open and more relaxed. We behave ourselves more freely and bravely, we even say such things we would never repeat in real life looking into our interlocutors eyes

But, nevertheless, it can never replace the real communication - that ability of looking into your friend's eyes, hearing him/her laugh, watching his expression of the face change, feeeling his reaction, voice intonation....the most important - the ability to hug or to kiss...


So please don't replace the real coomunication by this somehow artificial and mechanical one!!! And whenever you have chance to meet with your friend, relative, beloved one, etc...do not miss that chance, because you will receive much more from that kind of conversation than if you just stay in front of the computer screen putting smiles and witing lol or rofl...

Don't forget that you are not a robot, one of those automatic machines with no feelings inside...stay human!
