Networks and Communication

Synchronous & asynchronous communications are useful in different ways depending on the time and place. Synchronous communications allow a real time communication at the same time but in a different place. It helps people engage instantly at the same time point. Synchronous communications may be useful for discussion, sharing presentation and information, and more in-depth, interactive conversations. Asynchronous communications on the other hand, allow communications at any time and place over a long period of time. It allows people to communicate conveniently at their own schedule and different time zones. Asynchronous communications may be useful for sharing comments & ideas such as blogs, one to one or one to many communications such as emails/text and provide resources and informations.
