TECHNOLOGICAL CONVERGENCE

What is technological convergence?

Technological convergence is the process by which existing technologies merge into new forms that bring together different types of media and applications. Also technological convergence is the integration of two or more different technologies in a single device or system.
For example, a new type of media storage often require new players that only play that format. As the technology advances, however, new models might include additional features like the ability to interface with more devices or play other types of media. eg. xbox 360 is a console game but at the same time is a DVD player and the other example is a mobile device  that is designed to make calls and take pictures.
