Definitions
Computing
Real-time is usually used to describe situations when two or more people are interacting via their computers instantaneously, versus delayed back-and-forth communication, such as with instant messaging.
As noted by one court:
“ | In addition to transmitting messages that can be later read or accessed, individuals on the Internet can engage in an immediate dialog, in 'real time', with other people on the Internet.[1] | ” |
General
Real-time is time in which reporting on events or recording of events is simultaneous with the events.
