Physical face-to-face is likely to remain an essential business tool
Many (25?) years ago I was involved in looking at the cost-effectiveness of meetings / decision-making using video vs audio vs face-to-face vs email, and combinations of these.
Face-to-face was highest value / highest-cost.
Video was better than audio was better than email etc.
Optimum value for money was a combination of F2F & video. F2F even added value to subsequent video sessions.
The cost of technology will have reduced, but the high-value of the personal contact via F2F is probably still an essential business tool
