You can measure it by the amount of automatisation. The bigger technological process the easier it is to automate systems.
In general, synchronous communication means you have to wait for the answer all the time. The programming logic is simpler, but the cost that you spend a lot of time waiting.
If the options are:
<span>a. The people communicating don't need to be online at the same time.
b. There is lag time in the communication.
c. The communication occurs in real time.
a is false, you do need to be online to receive the message
b is true, typically you continue only after an acknowledgement
c is true, you wait for acknowledgement that occurs in real time (not necessarily fast though)</span>
