Dear classmate,
In regards to your comment that "in order to know more about their lives in foreign countries, we can take a look of their photos uploaded in their online albums", I would agree that without the possibility of meeting in person, then synchronous video chats or use of online photos would be the only means for sharing lives. However, if person-to-person and CMC are both viable options of communication, wouldn't meeting with family and friends result in more interaction than via CMC?
How would one feel a hug or a kiss online? How would one experience the gratitude of being handed a tissue when one cries? Some modes of emotional conveyance cannot be represented by emoticons unfortunately.
Sincerely,
