The Importance of Converging the International Financial - excited

Technological convergence , also known as digital convergence , is the tendency for technologies that were originally unrelated to become more closely integrated and even unified as they develop and advance. For example, watches , telephones , television , computers , and social media platforms began as separate and mostly unrelated technologies, but have converged in many ways into interrelated parts of a telecommunication and media industry, sharing common elements of digital electronics and software. The concept is roughly analogous to convergent evolution in biological systems, such that for example the ancestors of whales became progressively more like fish in outward form and function, despite not being fish and not coming from a fish lineage. Such changes in the respective ecosystem open new trends, pathways, and opportunities in the following divergent phase of the process" Roco , [1] Bainbridge and Roco [2]. Integration, here, is defined as "a process of transformation measure by the degree to which diverse media such as phone, data broadcast and information technology infrastructures are combined into a single seamless all purpose network architecture platform". Jan van Dijk suggests that "digitalization means breaking down signals into bytes consisting of ones and zeros". The Importance of Converging the International Financial
