Another advantage would be the personal relationship that can be built between the people who are communicating. Disadvantages would include not being able to speak what is on ones mind to the person when looking at them. Another would be not being very good at confronting someone who may be of higher authority than them. Next type is the telephone, which has the advantage of still allowing the person to voice what they have to say and be able to adjust their tone when needed.
