Communication and the Internet

  • Which communication forms are synchronous?
  • Which ones are asynchronous?
  • What type of information would be conveyed by each form?
  • What is needed in hardware and software for each?

  1. The Television and the radio are both communications. They are synchronous because they happen at the same time. Both T.V and radio are hearable.  You can hear the radio and watch T.V at the same time.
2. The messenger, and face-book chat

3. By sending email, because by sending post mails it would take a much longer time.

4. For hardware we need a computer, and for software we need a mobile phone.
