CONVERGENCE
- Refers to previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video that now share resources and interact with each other. (Wikipedia)
- The merging of distinct technologies, industries, or devices into a unified whole. (Miriam Weber)
Some examples of convergent technology are:
The iPhone
The 'coolest' thing a person could own right now. The iPhone is an Internet-connected, multimedia GSM smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. The iPhone functions as a camera phone (also including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player(equivalent to a video iPod), and an Internet client (with email, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity).

Anybody and EVERYBODY has a facebook account these days. Facebook is a social networking website that has a number of features allowing users to; add friends, send them messages, update their status and inform their friends of their whereabouts and actions, upload photos and chat using an instant messaging application.
Digital Camera
A digital camera (or digicam for short) is a camera that takes video or still photographs, or both, digitally by recording images via an electronic sensor. Digital cameras can display images on a screen immediately after they are recorded, store thousands of images on a single small memory device and record video with sound.
The Xbox 360
The Xbox 360 is the second video game console produced by Microsoft. A prominent feature of the Xbox 360 is its integrated Xbox Live service that allows players to compete online and download content such as arcade games, game demos, trailers, TV shows, and movies. Major features of the console include its Windows Media Center multimedia capabilities, mandatory support of high definition in all games, movie rentals and game downloads from its online marketplace and the ability to watch HD DVD movies with an add-on drive.
