Convergence Padlet by Hannah Harris https://padlet.com/heharris/convergence 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 2018-04-10 00:41:48 UTC 2026-01-08 09:03:22 UTC hello@padlet.com The Campaign Book https://padlet.com/heharris/convergence/wish/301661226 http://www.labeoufronkkoturner.com/

2) from payed newspapers to free “smart” news

Agree or disagree: I agree that convergence does affect the way we consume media. While some can argue it has changed in a negative way, (due to the mass amount of “fake news”, arguing, and unreliability)I believe it has become more expansive.

The fabric was also very heavy. Now clothes are not as long and lightweight. I do think convergence is a risk because if there is too much change and entropy in a system it makes it harder for the media to adapt. ]]> 2018-11-07 17:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/heharris/convergence/wish/301665555 Mapquest vs google maps https://padlet.com/heharris/convergence/wish/301665610
