CONVERGENCE

Convergence means the process or state of converging.

In media it is the idea that because of the progress of technology various different types of media (e.g. computer, television, radio, phone) are combining into a single media.

For example, television and computer technology are increasingly becoming the same thing. Websites have video on them and the Internet is an important part of the offer of most broadcasters. Computers and network technology has allowed television to offer "video on demand" services moving away from traditional "linear" or scheduled television.
