13.9.1 :-? Marie

Looking at the original questions for proposers/opposers, perhaps there is no right or wrong, better or lessor situationhere. situation here. "Can on-line conferences produce equal or superior outcomes… or even similar outcomes?"

On-line discussions will produce outcomes unique to the medium. They may be similar in some cases, inferior in othersor superior in some. Like comparing apples and kiwi fruit, they look and taste very different, grow in different placesbut both are fruits. You cannot mistake one for the other, yet the physical and chemical properties that make them fruitsare more alike than different. Sometimes you want an apple and other times kiwi is better. Or maybe it's all fruity. J
