Technological convergence refers to the merging of previously separate technologies like voice, data, and video so they can share resources and interact synergistically. Specifically, this involves converging technologies like telephony and data communications into common interfaces on single devices. The rise of digital communication has allowed media organizations to explore multimedia delivery and convergence across news media. However, technological convergence tends to be experimental in nature, leading consumers to own multiple devices that can perform the same tasks rather than one dedicated device, creating unnecessary clutter.

Technological convergence is the tendency for different

Convergence can refer to previously separate technologies such as
voice (and telephony tasks. features), data (and productivity
applications), and video that now share resources and interact
with each other synergistically.
Telecommunications convergence, network convergence or
simply convergence are broad terms used to describe emerging
telecommunications technologies, and network architecture used to
migrate multiple communications services into a single network.[1]
Specifically this involves the converging of previously distinct media
such as telephony and data communications into common interfaces
on single devices.

3. At theThe rise of digital communication 20th century
has made it possible for media organiza same time,
it inspired some media organizations to explore
multimedia delivery of information. This digital
convergence of news media, in particular, was
called "Mediamorphosis" by researcher Roger
Fidler in his 1997 book by that name. Today, we are
surrounded by a multi-level convergent media world
where all modes of communication and information
are continually reforming to adapt to the enduring
demands of technologies, "changing the way we
create, consume, interact with each other learn and

4. History
Communication of audience interactivity morphs
the passive audience into an engaged
audience.networks were designed to carry different
types of information independently. Radio was
designed for audio, and televisions were designed
for video. The older media, such as television and
radio, are broadcasting networks with passive
audiences. Convergence of telecommunication
technology permits the manipulation of all forms
of information, voice, data, and video.
Telecommunication has changed from a world of
scarcity to one of seemingly limitless capacity.
Consequently, the possibility

5. In the 1990s an implicit and often explicit assumption was
that new media was going to replace the old media and
Internet was going to replace broadcasting. In Nicholas
Negroponte's Being Digital Negroponte predicts the
collapse of broadcast networks in favor of an era of
narrow-casting. He also suggests that no government
regulation can shatter the media conglomerate"The
monolithic empires of mass media are dissolving into an
array of cottage industries.... Media barons of today will
be grasping to hold onto their centralized empires
tomorrow.... The combined forces of technology and
human nature will ultimately take a stronger hand in
plurality than any laws Congress can invent." The new
media companies claimed that the old media would be
absorbed fully and completely into the orbit of the

6. Secondly, technological convergence tends to be experimental in nature. This
has led to consumers owning technologies Firstly, as "black one dedicated
boxes" are invented and abandoned, the individual is left with numerous
devices that can perform the same task, rather than or each task. For
example, one may own both a computer and a video games console,
subsequently owning creates clutter two DVD players. This is contrary to the
streamlined goal of the "black box" theory, and instead.[18]
with additional functions that are harder, if not impractical, to use rather than
one specific device. For example, Intel has created a surfboard with an in-built
laptop.[19] Additionally, LG has created a microwave with a television
screen.[20] Maany people would only watch the TV for the duration of the
meal's cooking time, or whilst in the kitchen, but would not use the
microwave as the household TV. These examples show that in many cases
technological convergence is unnecessary or unneeded.a
