Convergence

When looking at Convergence there is no better of an example than the current technological landscape. As a whole the combining and converging of technology to create more streamlined process' is a pretty great thing for everyone. It essentially takes two different technologies that would have required 10 steps each, combines them, and that in turn creates a process that completes the two processes in 5 steps. An example of this can be seen when shopping on Amazon because when you order items from their site you used to have to add items to your cart, confirm your order, select the shipping speed, and then your order was placed. Now you can simply just buy items with the new "buy now" option. It will essentially charge you for the item then and there and give you the standard shipping of the amazon prime shipping if you are a prime member. This method would not be possible without the convergence of combing the traditional online shopping method with the "buy now" option. If you just want to purchase one thing you click the button and then you're done. If you're buying multiple items you can now streamline your online shopping with this method as well and it is extremely effective if there are varying shipping times.
