TASK: DEFINE CONVERGENCE

As this is a New Communications Technology Course, I am assuming that our definition is to be of Digital Convergence. After some reading, I believe that Digital Convergence refers to the coming together of digital media to combine voice, video, pictures, texts, video, broadcasts, presentation, streaming media, data, global connectivity and personalized services (telecommunication, IT, internet, media, entertainment) in new applications, devices and networks - that is the amalgamation of digital technology components and these features. The combination of all of these features and abilities from multiple electronic systems into a simplified, converged and computer-mediated communication system to enable individuals to interact, play, communicate, collaborate and share information.
