Convergence???

So I did it.I looked up the term convergence. However there are a lot of different meanings for this word. The first meaning is in math when a matter is approaching a limit such as a line,point, or value. The second meaning was a meeting place. The place of converging. Another example of convergence in the financial dictionary is for two different prices from the past and the present to come together to be the same price. It seems like this convergence is basically for different things to come together within technology.

I guess I ended up a little confused about convergence by looking at all the different definitions. So I did the unthinkable. I went to wikipedia.com!!! Convergence showed up in the telecommunications area. They talked about how convergence goes back to the At&t in 1928. They also speak about how convergence is about crossing multiple industries. This is when I started understanding how convergence related to our class. Maybe I should start going to wikipedia first?
