The New Norm- Working With Clients Virtually

There is no doubt that technology has changed the way cultures do business, mostly for the better. Transactions can happen 24-hours a day on every corner of the civilized world. Since the first email sent in 1971, people have found better and faster ways to communicate. But at what cost? Although the new normal of social distancing has left conference rooms empty, there has been a Renaissance in face time. Since April 1st, Zoom and similar virtual meeting tools have quadrupled in use. Why the sudden increase? It seems there is more to communication than the written word. Although we can easily read the letters of the Founding Fathers, would their words have new meanings if we could see them smirk at the end of a paragraph? Humans spoke to each other for thousands of years before writing anything down. Was it a matter of capability or content? Who knows?
