Technological Convergence
Technological convergence is the
tendency that as technology changes, different technological systems sometimes
evolve toward performing similar tasks. Digital convergence refers to the
convergence of four industries into one conglomerate, ITTCE (Information
Technologies, Telecommunication, Consumer Electronics, and
Entertainment).Previously separate technologies such as voice data and
productivity applications, and video can 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. Convergence in this
instance is defined as the interlinking of computing and other information
technologies, media content, and communication networks that has arisen as the
result of the evolution and popularization of the Internet as well as the
activities, products and services that have emerged in the digital media space.
Convergent services, such as VoIP, IPTV, Mobile TV, Smart TV, and others, tend
to replace the older technologies and thus can disrupt markets. IP-based
convergence is inevitable and will result in new service and new demand in the
market.
