Convergence by Hannah Harris https://padlet.com/heharris/converge In your groups, come up with at least three examples of convergence between old and new medium. Then answer if you agree or disagree with this quote and explain why citing one of the examples. "Convergence represents a risk since most of these media fear a fragmentation or erosion of their markets. Each time they move a viewer from television to the Internet, say, there is a risk that the consumer may not return" (Jenkins, p. 19). en-us 2018-11-07 19:54:14 UTC 2023-03-07 19:20:51 UTC hello@padlet.com Convergence: Old vs New https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301801617 1. In person vs online classes:
Traditionally, classes are taught in person in a classroom, but today they can be taken online. 

This type of convergence would not be a risk because even though more online classes are being taken, I don't believe in person classrooms will ever go away, especially considering the amount of universities there are all around the world.

2. Food Service vs Uber Eats
Today you don't even have to step outside your house to get something to eat–your food can just get sent straight to your house. 

This could represent a risk to those who work in food service because if no one if going into the location to eat/order, the cashiers won't be needed, and they'll be out of a job. ]]> 2018-11-07 21:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301801617 Sam, Julie, and Brandon sam_lane62 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301801936
1. Record Player to a 2018 recreated record player with an AUX cord.

2. Online newspapers 

3. pen pal to IM to text

4. paypal to venmo

5. Cable to Netflix

We agree with the quote, because as new medias are being created you can't blame the customers for choosing the more convenient option. ]]> 2018-11-07 21:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301801936 1.) first form of texting was just words now we can send things like gifs, picture, emojis, send things with effects https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301802265 2.) looking for jobs: used to look in the newspaper now you can look online (linkedin)

OK stands for "Oll Korrect" a trend from Boston university students in the 1700/1800s. It caught on due to morse code. Most manuals said do not cease transmissions until "OK" is received. We have now come back around to shortened slang such as "lol" for similar reasons of saving time. joefroeter https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301803037 This could represent the fragmentation of posh English. The full eloquent, bougie, grammatically correct English. We have since this time begun to shorten words and phrases.

2. The google arts and culture app has a program where you take a selfie and it shows you what old portrait looks the most like you. This is the convergence of antique arts and modern media/ technology.

This app may actually reconnect individuals with the history of art and especially portraits. ]]> 2018-11-07 21:13:17 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301803037 Convergence: stuff happens https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301803045 1. comicbooks/books to movies and television shows.]]> 2018-11-07 21:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301803045 Convergence https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301803755 1. no face tattoos to Face tattoos

2. singing culture in rap

3. gang culture

4. flintlock to semi automatic

I agree with the quote because usually everybody hops on the new wave. Plus, whatever works best everybody will use. Which is probably going to be the new media/market.]]> 2018-11-07 21:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301803755 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301811216 2018-11-07 21:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301811216 joefroeter https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301811683 2018-11-07 21:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301811683 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301812624 2018-11-07 21:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301812624 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301813292 2018-11-07 21:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301813292 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301813847 2018-11-07 21:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301813847 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301814324 2018-11-07 21:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301814324 aakfilmproductions https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301814891 2018-11-07 21:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301814891 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815261 2018-11-07 21:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815261 Padlet in a padlet https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815297 2018-11-07 21:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815297 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815740 2018-11-07 21:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815740 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815781 2018-11-07 21:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301815781 joefroeter https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816211 2018-11-07 21:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816211 aakfilmproductions https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816662 2018-11-07 21:52:43 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816662 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816763 2018-11-07 21:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816763 padlet in a padlet in a padlet joefroeter https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816888 2018-11-07 21:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816888 aakfilmproductions https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816992 2018-11-07 21:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301816992 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301817139 2018-11-07 21:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301817139 Two Padlets in the Padlet https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301817433 2018-11-07 21:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301817433 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301817938 2018-11-07 21:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301817938 https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301818096 2018-11-07 21:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301818096 joefroeter https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301820320 2018-11-07 22:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/converge/wish/301820320
