Paragraph 2
Mr Bailenson outlined
factors that make video-conferencing so
-inducing. He said it is not just tiredness and eye-
from staring at a computer screen for hours and hours. It is also brought about by "cognitive
" and feeling pressure to be
switched on. We constantly feel we need to be in
with friends or available for bosses,
or students. Bailenson cautioned this leads to burnout and stress and can heighten your chance of developing moderate to
depression. He said this anxiety can adversely affect your self-confidence. This is because of the
number of faces staring at you in meetings. Bailenson likens this to the stresses of public
.
