Another advantage of the cyberspace dialogue is its
freedom from physical engagement. In the face to face

dialogue, it is sometimes very difficult to end in a peaceful
manner; hence, its less significance to the listeners.
This is because, both or all parties see each other
and can easily be provoked by the presentation of
others, But in the cyberspace dialogue, no matter the
degree of the heat from others, there will definitely be
no physical engagement. Here too there are no
supporters present to cause chaos or disturb the
discussants.
Again, in the cyberspace discussion, there is easy
access to unforeseen information. Sometimes in a hot
discussion, certain issues do pop up, which have not
been planned for; and the face to face dialogue does
not allow one to go back and refer.
In the cyberspace however, just one click in the
search engine brings back enough information to the
participant in less than a minute.

Disadvantages of the Cyberspace Dialogue

Albeit the advantages mentioned above, there are still
some short comings when it comes to cyberspace
dialogue. It is argued that because of easy access to
information on the cyberspace, people, particularly,
students, are becoming lazier day by day.
Previously, people go by themselves to the shelves
and library for references and to learn by themselves;
and through this, increase their scope of knowledge, and
even get to know things they have not planned to learn.
