Speech

Gestures and speech both have advantages and disadvantages for communication. Some advantages of gestures are that they can build trust, convey emotion, build relationships, and send subconscious messages. However, gestures also have disadvantages such as some people not understanding them, potential misunderstandings, and not all people being able to see them. Some advantages of speech are that it is easy to understand, saves time, and can help develop relationships. However, speech also has disadvantages like inaccuracy, increasing complexity, delays in decision making, and sometimes being irrelevant. Both gestures and speech are useful forms of communication but also have limitations.
