Convergence

Convergence is a funny thing - a great thing at that, however.

Convergence is the concept of "bringing things together" or as put by Marc Benioff:

The world is being reshaped by the convergence of social, mobile, cloud, big data, community and other powerful forces. The combination of these technologies unlocks an incredible opportunity to connect everything together in a new way and is dramatically transforming the way we live and work.

There is something very powerful about that quote.

It is down to the fact we are changing our lives by having single devices that control and do "everything". It is a great thing, and it has been going on since the first feature phones (where MP3 players and cameras were integrated into the phone, and in turn almost wiping out their entire market).

I love convergence. What do you think?
