When people spend so much time communicating with others through a computer screen, they lose face to face social contact skills. A significant part of how people communicate with each others is through their body language and facial expressions. When that aspect of communications is removed a number of problems can occur there is a tendency for comments to be more spontaneous and less thoughtful.
