Many parents complain about being forgotten by their children. The children did not contact them for months because of their business. Calling or sending a message via WhatsApp is easy, yet they are not doing that to please their mothers.
What a sad.
Indeed, communication technology makes it easier for humans to connect with others because it can be done anytime, more efficiently, and at a low cost. As long as a telecommunications tower is in the area, your messages and calls reach across regions and countries.
However, online communication also has several weaknesses. Some urgent points are often missed and cause misunderstandings.
Online communication also has nonverbal limitations. The recipient cannot see your face and body language, and there is no eye contact. This makes communication very normative and less emotionally connected.
I prefer to use video calls to WhatsApp messages when contacting my children. Both live in other provinces. I need to see their faces and smiles and hear their voices at least once a week. It helps calm me down and take my mind off my worries.
No problem if I call first.
The Mother’s love is forever, right?
