Asynchronicity

 Asynchronicity is that time factor when dealing with interactions on the internet. Instead of having to deal with face to face interactions and other people's reactions in certain situations, a person can read what you say to them, and then have time to think it over and decide how they are going to respond or if they are going to respond at all. It suspends time in conversation and changes the outcome of situations drastically since you cannot witness a person's initial reaction to something it might not be the same as the response they give after having time to look at the situation and figure out how they want to deal with it.
