Convergence: Also know as technological convergence, is a trend where some technologies have distinct functionalities that evolve to technologies that overlap each other. This means multiple technologies or products come together to create one product with the best advantages of the orginial components.
Digital: This is the way in which data of all types is stored using binaray code, using 0's and 1's.
This can store a huge amount of data in a small amount of space maximising the capcity of the technology.
Synergy: This is the way a media institution tries to use its various products to sell one another, so one item will sell another and example of this is a mobile phone and a car charger for it.
Interactivity: This is where the audience/consumer can participate with the media products through the technology, and example of this is sky+ the red button where you can join in with TV shows, this creates UGC - user generated content.
Portability: This is technology that can be carried around with ease, i-pods and phones have taken this into account as they are now pocket size.
Connectivity: The ability for the technology to access the internet. Personal computers, laptops and mobile phones are a good example of this.
Miniaturisation: This is the process of technology getting smaller with the potenial of storing more information and increasing portability. i-pods are currently getting smaller in size yet the amount they can store is increasing.
Compatibility: Technology that allows connection to other devices to share information, i.e bluetooth and infra-red technologies where they can send information from one device to another.
Analogue: the old way in which media products have been distributed, i.e celluloid film and the original TVs
Storage: The capacity of a device to hold and retain data, the capacity is measured in bytes, KB, MB, GB and TB
