What is digital convergence and how might it affect how people use network devices?

What will be an ideal response?


Digital convergence refers to the power of digital devices-such as desk and laptop computers and wireless handhelds like smartphones-to combine voice, video, and text-processing capabilities as well as to be connected to business and home networks and to the Internet. The same concept applies to the development of VoIP networks, which use the same protocols and media (both wired and wireless) that once carried only data to carry two-way voice conversations. Wireless networks in general play an important part in digital convergence as users demand to be connected to their data and voice networks at all times, wherever they may be.
