Technology Convergence

In my mind the convergence of technology is a wonderful thing. To be able to create something new simply by combing two or more technologies together is fantastic.
It is nothing new. Look at the cellphone - it started off being made just so you can call people away from the home or office. Then it got texting capabilities. Now-a-days the simple, little, cellphone can do a wide range of things from making phone calls, to taking pictures, and from taking video footage to reading your emails and browsing the interent.
It makes you wonder can a phone do anymore than it already does?
But everyday there is a new app, or somone designing a new app.
Below is a digram to illastrate technology convergence

An Image of Technology Convergence



This image shows examples of how technology has merged over the years.
Moving image has gone from picture theatre to iPod.
Computing has gone from computer to cellphone.

What technology convergence are we going to see and buy in the next ten years?
Anything, it seems, is possible.
