Hey @martinfeld I listen to and enjoy most of the Lounge Ruminations. 😀 On #33 start at 6:15 you say: “the crucial element of a conversation is the words”. 🤔 Can’t speak for blind, deaf, folks with body movement issues, but gesture, posture, face, breathing etc are = crucial.
Martin Feld Thanks so much for listening and for the comment! In the context of video-calling, I simply meant that for most people the video element of a call can often be superfluous and a distraction. Yes, however you’re absolutely right that other physical cues are very important. It’s interesting how powerful a video call can be for people having one-on-one conversation—whether they have a hearing impairment or not—but the moment that you add more people to a meeting, the visual and audio delays feel more pronounced.
In this case, ironically, I should have considered my words better! 😀 Thanks again!
