Asynchronous communication describes the act of communicating with another person using pauses and storing communication in external devices such as phones, text, or letters. Unlike Synchronous communication, where one part of the conversation is related back to the other in real time, asynchronous communication can be carried out over long periods of time, through generations, and great distances, or simply over small moments on digital devices.

Synchronous communication describes the act of communicating with another person in a real-time feedback loop. Unlike asynchronous communication, where one involved parties can carry out text over time by storing messages in external mediums such as E-mail or letters, asynchronous communication can be carried out over long periods of time, through generations, and great distances, or simply over small moments on digital devices.
