Tute 2 Convergence Technology

What is Convergence Technology??

To put it simply and how I understand it to be convergence technology allows you to access different types of media on/or with the same device.

In the past for example each entertainment media had to be played on a specific device. Video was played on a television by using a video player of some sort, music was played in a tape or CD player, radio was played on an AM/FM tuner, and video games were played through a console of some sort.

Technological convergence in the last few years has resulted in devices that not only interact with the media they are primarily designed to handle, but also with a number of other formats.

I will now do 4 posts with examples of convergence technology with a brief explanation!
