What will be an ideal response?
Convergence refers to the coming together of the many forms of technologically mediated and face-to-face communication.

One disadvantage is that as we multitask to take full advantage of technology, media, and communication, we may feel easily distracted, overcommitted, or spread too thin, effectively scattering our potential.
