Asynchronous communication refers to a method of exchanging information where participants do not need to be present or engaged at the same time. This type of communication allows individuals to send messages, emails, or posts and receive responses at their convenience, making it flexible and accommodating for different schedules. Common examples of asynchronous communication include email, text messages, and discussion forums. Unlike synchronous communication, such as video calls or live chats, asynchronous methods enable people to think through their responses and engage in conversations without the pressure of immediate replies.
