This article is discussing how liberalisation and digitalisation have been drivers of the market and media convergence. It is stated in the article that "The Internet is the most ubiquitous physical infrastructure supporting information and communication."
The next part of the article talks about how there is a greater choice for teenagers to young adults - new devices, services and interactivity. It spoke of "Gender and socioeconomic differences consumption" of new media. For example - children didn't know if the radio was coming out of the radio device or coming from the internet. Also the change in media consumption in the forseable future will have an impact on education.
Disagreements:
In the article it talks of how children don't all have the Internet or computer / use their computers at home as they would at school. This can be seen to be disagreeing with Prensky's theory of Digital Natives and Immigrants which states that all children growing up using modern technology are Digital Natives. As things are becoming more technical Prensky's theory will probably become more applicable therefore implying this article is not looking into the future.
