+**Why do we need asynchronous programming?**
+
+Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you did **not** use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.
+
+**What is asynchronous programming?**
+
+An asynchronous programme utilises the `async` and `await` keywords. An asynchronous programme pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do.
