We don't need to see each other's faces to communicate effectively.

You can communicate without seeing each others faces, of course. You get a better connection, and better communication when you can see each other. Reading faces is a big part of how we communicate. Especially when I am training someone / pairing, seeing someones face let’s me know if they’re getting it or not.

Im talking from the perspective of my industry, and the work I do. Its just my experience. Im not stating proven facts or something. I am just explaining my perspective, thats all. Its not applicable for everyone - we are all different

Ok, understood. From my perspective, its a better way to communicate. Im not saying its the only way. And faceless communication can also be productive
