### Instruction: Why does in-person contact create more impactful human connections than relationships based on purely virtual meetings?
### Response: While meeting someone virtually over platforms like Zoom allow for humans to meet and establish real relationships, meeting in-person creates more impactful and intimate relationships.  A person is able to get to know others over virtual meetings, but there are very important non-verbal communications that are absent when people meet virtually.  

As Sherlock Holmes would say, through the "powers of deduction" when two people spend time in a room together, you can observe and study the other person's behaviors in ways not truly possible over virtual technologies today. When spending time in-person, one develops a more intimate understanding of their fellow person.  This more nuanced understanding of one's peer, allows you to establish and stronger relationships.
