E-mail has been used to completely replicate the communication experience of two people meeting and speaking face-to-face.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.


Answer is false. (Electronic mail has become a common mode of communication for many people. Here we have access to neither audible nor visible non-verbal information. In spite of the verbal informality of e-mail, we cannot see a smile, a concerned face, or a gesture; we cannot hear a hesitant, enthusiastic, humorous, or sarcastic tone of voice. An interesting adaptation to this deficiency is the invention of "emoticons," which are typewritten symbols that imitate facial expressions. For example, :) is a smile on its side, :( is a sad face, and ;) is a wink. Because of these symbols, we have placed e-mail a bit higher on the non-verbal dimension than other forms of written text.)
