Synchronous and asynchronous difference

Question

Accepted Answer

Synchronous communication happens in real-time while asynchronous communication does not require both parties to be present simultaneously.

Synchronous communication is like a phone call where both parties are present and communicating in real-time.
Asynchronous communication is like sending an email where the sender and receiver do not need to be online at the same time.
Synchronous communication is faster but requires immediate attention, while asynchronous communication allows for flexibility in response time.
Examples of synchronous communication include phone calls, video calls, and instant messaging, while examples of asynchronous communication include emails, text messages, and social media posts.
