Question

Mention two limitations of oral communication.

Give two limitations of oral communication.

Answer 1

Two limitations of oral communication.

1. Physical Distance: A large physical distance between two people may make oral communication impossible. In other cases, there may be no mechanical equipment available, such as a phone.
2. Lack of Record: Unless spoken conversation is taped and transcribed, there is no permanent record for future use. It lacks legal standing and is unsuitable for recording messages like service contracts, purchase orders, policy statements, and so forth.
