Document Summary

Cct109 may 8- lecture 1 textbook notes convergence: the process by which media technologies, industries, and services are merging. Internet, email, mobile phones, computer games, digital cameras, and instant text messaging is simply preposterous: only folks on shows like big brother and survivor don"t have access to such devices, and that was their choice. This takes us to the larger question of whether, and how, technologies can act as factors in wider social change while being already embedded in a social context.
