We consume technology hugely nowadays. We can personalize our devices to suit our own needs. For example i could set up my
email notifications to sound different to my text messages to help me know which one it is.
We also use convergence to connect to different digital media platforms using one device. For example an iphone can use the
internet, radio and also phone calls all on one device. Before convergence people ad to use multiple devices to connect to each of
these.
Interactivity is also used, we use this a lot whilst on social media. For example facebook, you can message friends and also play games,
this is interactivity.
Finally connectivity. Connectivity is the most used one out of these. We use connectivity to connect to any social media or anything on
the internet. Some devices are not supported but most newer devices are.
