Face-to-face communication also helps us to understand and share others' emotional states
Conventional face-to-face social interactions allow the development of multiple neurocognitive processes and related neural networks that support our ability to infer others mental states and other social cognitive abilities. Humans get used to face-to-face communication, which delivers social information about others mental states and facilitates the development of the neural network consisting of the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, temporoparietal junction, and temporal pole for inference of others mental states or theory-of-mind ability. Face-to-face communication also helps us to understand and share others' emotional states and develop empathy-related neural networks consisting of the anterior cingulate cortex, anterior insular, and the somatosensory cortex.

The brain exists in silence and darkness, like a dungeoned prisoner. It has no pain receptors, literally no feelings. It has never felt warm sunshine or a soft breeze. To your brain, the world is just a stream of electrical pulses, like taps of Morse code. And out of this bare and neutral information it creates for you—quite literally creates—a vibrant, three-dimensional, sensually engaging universe. Your brain is you. Everything else is just plumbing and scaffolding.
It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
It has frequently been implied, and sometimes even pointed out, that the individual strives toward consistency within himself. His opinions ...
