Media convergence involves the merging of technologies that allow different types of media like voice, data, and video to be accessed across multiple devices. Technological convergence occurs as new devices gain the ability to handle different media formats and interface with more technologies. Cross-media refers to experiences that distribute content across multiple platforms using different forms of media to tell a story or provide an experience through linkages between devices. Synergy is produced when multiple elements interact in a system to create an effect greater than just the individual parts.
