To be online or face-to-face ?

Online discussion is definitely a different experience compared with the traditional face-to-face in-class discussions. Well because on online discussion, one can freely talk about one's view on the topic.
Let's say for example, today's lesson about discussion forum on Facebook Group. I felt that I could freely express my views as long as I know I am not saying anything insulting or damaging to anyone. I believe other people would free the same way too.

Most people would prefer online discussion than face-to-face discussions. I find that most of the time in face-to-face discussions, not much people are willing to share their views with others on a certain topic or they could be just shy to speak up. But when it is changed to a online discussion, there are bound to be a lot of replies and comments.

I find this online activity meaningful as I know there is a place where I can freely express my view on a topic without much disturbance.
