Convergence refers to the combination of two or more different technologies in a single device. For ex: taking pictures with a cell phone and surfing the Web on a television are two of the most common examples of convergence. Companies work together to make better product and work efficient introduced convergence in the 1990s and due to some companies effort we can see how the technology revolutionized entire world.

In the past, each entertainment medium had to be played on a specific device and without that device it will not work. Video was displayed on a television through some type of video player (T.V), music came through a tape deck and video games were played through a console of some sort. Technological convergence has resulted in devices that not only interact with the media they are primarily designed to handle, but also with a number of other formats.

What makes a community and does tech provide community?

What makes a community and does tech provide?

Communities are a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common. Moreover communities around us are based on a foundation of guidelines that the entire community follows which we call laws. Laws are both enforced and followed by the community to ensure that everyone gets equal rights and all are on same platform in the community. Also in order to develop a better Community, members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems ex: community wellbeing (economic, social, environmental and cultural) etc. Also community allows people to contact, find friends, and do the activities you like to do on a daily basis.

 According to me tech does provide an online community, which help someone established a member of that community. Online community is used in many different ways. We can communicate with others, share our thoughts, vacation pictures; find other friends and highlights with others things. We can do it just like real life.  Online community it gives them a place to share their stories and help each other out in a difficult time and gain awareness.

Dotcom boom - Dotcom bust

Dotcom boom - Dotcom bust

This period was the time, which created many companies, and then many company disappeared in matter of time. The timeline for this period is divided into six-time periods- An Innocent Beginning, Boom! Insanity! Bust! @#%*! The Crawl Back to Sanity, Bonus Stage: Uh-oh…. During this time, many people got poor to rich and back again rich to poor and left people shocked and in dust.

This all started in 1993 when many companies went on IPO (initial Public Offering) of there stocks to common people. All the big companies were going online with their products and giving a part of there company stock to everyone on the internet, which resulted in many people investing in companies and saw their share worth doubled they invested. This is caused the insanity due to more and more people going online and buying different stocks for companies. Day by day the stocks were going high and huge amount of money was getting involved.

Bust 2001, during this time many companies went downward, which led stock of so many companies disappeared and left many people unemployed and people with stock all of sudden have no stock in a company. A lot of companies went bankrupt because they were not capable of running the company so large at the first place and this is was ridiculous for letting companies run and making the stock overvalued by buying it. It was very hard to get out of the virtual disaster and people once again started believing in online, after learning what was right and what was wrong at first place.
