oh no...my rechargeable batteries are revolting

ah hoi hoi ladies and germs
howz it?

in the last blog i very much explained convergence to the highest of standards possible. i honestly think i might win an award for it. i dont like to toot my own horn but...toot toot.
however i very much forgot to add some EXAMPLES of convergent technologies. how stupid of me, i feel like a person who posts fml's...but im not lonely

to clear up things u, convergent technolgies is... *according to the almighty and very untrustworthy wikipedia*


...the tendency for different technological systems to evolve towards performing similar tasks. ...previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video that now share resources and interact with each other...creating new efficiencies.
Many experts view this as simply being the tip of the iceberg, as all facets of institutional activity and social life such as business, government, art, journalism, health and education are increasingly being carried out in these digital media spaces across a growing network of ICT devices. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_convergence)


so heres a few....

1) who can say their idont ilike the almighty
iPhone

The iPhone is an internet-connected, multimedia GSM smartphone. It was designed by Apple Inc and is one of the obvious choices to represent convergence as the multi touch screen not only renders a virtual keyboard when needed, but the phone morphs into a video and normal camera, an ipod, internet client and great time waster. Text, MMS, Visual Voice, Email and Web Browsing are to name a few features it includes.

2) your book...my book...everyone has a
FACEBOOK
Facebook, created in 2004 is a social networking website that allows users to comment, message, video and update their friends with any news about...anything really. Users can also join organizeations, voice their opinions and pretty much do whatever they want on this online sensation.

3) when there is nothing on, you'll always have infomercials.... say hello to the
TELEVISION



The TV is a widely used telecommunication medium for transmitting and receiving moving images and sound, either in monochromatic form or colour. Hailing from the latin and greek meaning "far sight", the television easily represents how from your bed room, you are watching Olympic games in China or watching a riot in Berlin.


4) some are recreation while others are girlfriends, welcome the
COMPUTER
The Computer is one of the best inventions ever....ever. Everything stated above can be preformed on the computer with ease and from the comfort of your swiveling office chair while you pretend your reading the Johnson files. The home computer blasted into the scene at 1977 and were not only expensive, large, only used for word processing (wheres the porn?) and was somthing only blind people found "sleek", but very under-powered and held minimal to no memory. Oh how we have changed since then.


in conclusion......
technology kicks ass and the old days were nothing but a blow, like honestly what could you do...play with a stick and throw a tennis ball at a wall....woopdi doo! like in all honesty, who does not like the age of technology we live in now....like, who does not want a self making bed?



or even this funny looking BIGDOG thing that makes a shit load of noise and just makes you piss your pants watching it



seriously.....they are perfect inventions
