Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- Asynchronous communication is a type of communication where the sender and receiver do not need to be present at the same time.
- This means that the sender can send a message, and the receiver can read it at their own convenience.
- Forums and email are two examples of asynchronous communication technologies.
- When you post a message on a forum, the other members of the forum can read it at their own convenience.
- Similarly, when you send an email, the recipient can read it when they have time.
- Video conferencing and instant messaging are two examples of synchronous communication technologies.
- When you use video conferencing, you are able to see and talk to the other person in real time.
- Similarly, when you use instant messaging, you are able to send messages to the other person in real-time.
Therefore, the only digital communication technologies that use asynchronous communication are forums and email.
Video conferencing and instant messaging are both synchronous communication technologies.
