Connecting "Face-to-Face"

In Brian Grazer's, Face to Face: The Art of Human Connection, he references research that babies who don't have sufficient eye contact are at more risk for neural and brain disorders and that children and adults who are denied eye contact tend to have more psychological problems. [...]Grazer suggests that " . . . eye contact is far and away the most critical" among the many tools we use for communicating more clearly and building relationships most effectively. Why do I need the expense and inconvenience of leaving the comforts of my home or office to make professional connections?" Because connecting online doesn't involve eye contact or cues that come from gestures or facial expressions that provide valuable social and emotional intelligence.
