Define verbal cues and extended time. In an online relationship, how could you use these features?

What will be an ideal response?

Verbal cues: when individuals are motivated to create impressions and develop relationships, they will use any verbal signs available to communicate. Thus, electronically-mediated communication users can and do create fully-formed impressions of others based solely on the content of their electronic
messages. Extended time: using electronically-mediated communication to exchange social
information and to form impressions of others is much slower than real-life interactions. Yet, given
sufficient time, there is little reason to believe that electronically-mediated relationships will be
weaker than any other relationships.
