What the F#*k is ''technological convergence''??

At University, using wikipedia.com is a big no-no. However, when the word "technological convergence" arose, I had no idea what it meant. So, like all good uni students, I went straight to wikipedia. This is what wikipedia had to say about technological convergence:

Technological convergence is the tendency for different technological systems to evolve towards performing similar tasks.

Convergence can refer to previously separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video that now share resources and interact with each other, synergistically creating new efficiencies.

Today, we are surrounded by a multi-level convergent media world where all modes of communication and information are continually reforming to adapt to the enduring demands of technologies, “changing the way we create, consume, learn and interact with each other” ^[1].

Convergence in this instance is defined as the interlinking of computing and other information technologies, media content and communication networks that have arisen as the result of the evolution and popularisation of the Internet as well as the activities, products and services that have emerged in the digital media space.
