    My thinking with face to face communications not scaling well is that at a certain point, the group becomes so large that communication becomes a 1 way interaction instead of a personal 2 way communication. With just a handful of people, each participant can continue to read the body language of everyone else and participate in the conversation.

    On the other hand, when a single person is addressing a large group, it becomes a man talking to an audience, but the audience cannot participate in the conversation the way they could in a 1 on 1 situation. This starts to erode many of the advantages of talking face to face until you reach a point where a man on stage addressing a large crowd may as well be a video recording.

    This is still more effective than a text message, but it is an entirely different animal than a discussion between a pair of people.

      Steve,

      While all of those various methods of communications you bring up are itneresting they are not really germane to my argument.

      Once again, I am seeing a failure of staffs being able to operate effectively.

      At the end fo it all they are failing their commanders and, by extension, the Troops.
