Technological Convergence, now, to get into the nitty-gritty (and boy don’t we love that? =D) is as said by the great wiseGEEK to be “the trend of technologies merging into new technologies that bring together a myriad of media”…though not quite in those words.
A great example of an awesome combination of two of my most favourite technologies coming together (it’s beautiful stuff, truly.) is the oddly fantastic (and drumrolls please~) and most assuredly useful (though not really.) internet fridge.
Now, by just taking a look at this wonderful piece of awesome, at a whopping $15,000, the internet fridge does what its name suggests: cools your booze and freezes your icecream all the while allowing you access to the wonderful thing that is the world wide web. ☺
Another example, a real fan favourite is the rather impressive iphone.
A combination of three devices in one, those of course being internet access and an ipod combined into a pretty stiffy mobile phone (the phone itself being device number three~), iphones have pretty much revolutionized the technological world, and like having a Chihuahua in your massive, oversized purse as a socialite, to be without an iphone … gosh, it’s complete social suicide!Something that’s just a little odd now, laser scissors.
Want the perfect line but you’re just not capable of cutting straight? Look no further and get yourself a pair of laser scissors. ‘Coz sure, cutting in a straight line is so hard.
One more example (‘coz four is the required number after all~), we have the rather adorable climbing light.
Another oddity that pretty much explains itself: a cute ass little lightbulb that climbs a wall. Really, isn’t it cute? =D
Heeeerreeeee’s Barney:
So yeah, society has told us that sometimes it's okay to combine things to make one awesome piece of technology because hey, we're all lazy people.
