What are the three dimensions where the term convergence has been applied? What does each of these areas of convergence entail?


The three dimensions where the term convergence has been applied are technology platform, content design, and industry structure. 

Technology platform convergence refers to the integration of previously separate platform functionalities into a singular digital device. It refers to the development of hybrid devices that can combine the functionality of many different existing media. Content convergence actually includes three dimensions: design, production, and distribution. 

Content design convergence has occurred when the design becomes measurably different due to the new skills that have been learned for fully exploiting the new technological capabilities. Content production convergence drives content design convergence as new tools are developed for economically producing content for delivery to multiple platforms. Content distribution convergence occurs when the distributors and consumers have the new devices needed to receive, store, and experience the product. 

Industry structure convergence is the merger of various enterprises into powerful synergistic combinations that can cross-market content on many different platforms and create works that use multiple platforms.
