-What Convergence has meant in my life and how it affects me-

Convergence has meant a great deal to my personal life, as I’ve been raised in this ‘digital age.’ When I use my cell phone, I’m able to send and receive not only calls but text messages, I can also browse the Web, look up information, etc. It has come to the point where everything is literally at my finger-tips. When I log onto Facebook, in addition to having another channel to communicate with others, I also have ads and information coming directly to me. Without really ever realizing it, this convergence has had a huge affect on me. Things feel as if they’re more ‘simplistic’, more instantaneous: information, interests, communications, everything is readily available at any time now.
