The possibilities of the internet are huge, the main thing is to use them competently. Social networks, YouTube - today this is already a way of life, which means there is a need to form a certain culture of communication and behavior in them, noted Minister of Education Igor Karpenko in a conversation with the media:
— You don't always realize how sincere the person on the other side of the screen is with you. Live communication gives a complete picture of the interlocutor. Words, emotions, gestures — all this allows us to understand each other better. Therefore, my personal opinion is that no social network can replace face-to-face conversation. At the same time, we must take into account modern realities, the projects that the guys are presenting today, a necessary and reasonable initiative.
