Document Summary
Chapter 8-digital devices and media: managing a digital lifestyle. Digital convergence: digital convergence is the use of a single unifying device to handle media, internet, entertainment, and telephony needs. You see this mostly in the evolution of smartphones, which can do almost everything computers can: devices are beginning to converge so much that an organization has been created to standardize them. The dlna (digital living network alliance) is an organization working to standardize different kinds of appliances and network devices used in our homes. How have mobile devices converged: as more and more computing power is available in mobile processors, mobile devices have evolved to be able to do multiple tasks. Smartphones can video conference like laptops; tablets such as the ipad are touch sensitive like smartphones; and net- books/ultrabooks both run traditional desktop operating systems and are light weight.
