The article is called "Welcome to Convergence Culture" and it talks about people making investments into future technology for example The Blackbox fallacy - A universal remote designed to suit your needs. Through the article he criticises how people wish for a single "black box" to provides their needs. He then goes on to talk about how teenagers can "juggle many windows open on the computer when doing work." The final part of the article talks about how we are slowly converging technology from countries such as Japan and India. He states that consumers are now empored to chose what they will or won't have.
Disagreements:
In the article, he says that people are investing in a "black box" technology and brings to light the fact that it can't happen when media is continuously converging and diverging. I feel that this contradicts convergence theory because the theory itself revolves around media becoming more integrated and smaller, thus there must be an end but it will take time.
