Convergence - Henry Jenkins

Can you explain the concept of media convergence?
That we carry media with us everywhere, there is a constant demand for being able to access media forms easier and regularly

You argue that convergence is a cultural rather than a technological process?
Technology is all about making it easier for people to achieve and access things they like to do. It amplifies the terms of a culture, its more about how you

What do you mean by the term Participatory Culture and how it will affect the way we learn, communicate and do business?
Sharing with each other is satisfactory, people want to connect with each other and involve other in what they do

Can you address the issue of collective intelligence and its role in media, culture and business?
network society - know one knows every but everybody knows something. When we share knowledge it polishes our accuracy and it broadens our access to knowledge. It is collective intelligence that means we can achieve better quality data (e.g. wikipedia). The procedure is adequate because its in the process of being built.

Are we entering an era when media will be integrated in all aspects of our lives?
We're tethered to media, we interpret media in most aspects of our lives. It's a level of passity and processing media. Media will continue to grow with layers of annotation of information. The future generation will only continue to increase accessibility to media
