Asynchronous Processing

Asynchronous processing is a method where tasks are executed independently and do not require waiting for one another to complete. Imagine sending an email: you send it and continue with your day while the recipient may not read it immediately. In computing, this allows programs to handle multiple tasks at once, improving efficiency and responsiveness. For example, when streaming a video, your device can download data while you watch, rather than pausing for everything to load first. This way, users can enjoy smoother experiences without unnecessary delays caused by waiting for each task to finish sequentially.
