Disadvantages of Non-Verbal Communication
              Some of the disadvantages of non-verbal communication are:

                 • Since it uses gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, touch, signs, sound, etc. for communication, there are
                chances of misinterpretation of the message required to be delivered.

                 • Different cultures use different ways of non-verbal communication. The difference in message  can lead to
                negativity and offense.
                 • It does not follow any rules or structures, therefore people unconsciously may engage in non-verbal movements
                which are considered offensive.
                 • It is not  suitable for  long and  lengthy  messages  as the  actual  message may get  lost in a lengthy  and
                time-consuming conversation.
                 • Sometimes  it is  an incomplete form of communication and needs a support of verbal communication for
                effective and meaningful delivery of a message.
                 • Distant communication is not possible using non-verbal communication.


              Visual Communication
              Another important method of communication is visual communication, which involves sending and understanding
              messages only through images or pictures. The main advantage of this type of communication is that you do not
              need to know any particular language for understanding it. It is simple, easy to understand and remain the same
              across different places. Some common types of visual communication are:

               computer                                             zone





                       Greetings

              Greetings is the salutation used to welcome or greet a person. Greetings are an essential
              part of human communication and can vary greatly depending on who we are talking to
              and even according to the time of the day. The greeting and reply to a greeting at work
              is different from the greeting and reply given to a friend. Similarly, there are many ways
              to say goodbye when you depart.
