What is technological convergence in media?

• A. The combination of two or more types of media into one device.
• B. The separation of media types into multiple devices.
• C. A shift from analog to digital only.
• D. The merging of two companies.

Answer: (A)

Technological convergence is about different media forms merging into a single ecosystem so one device or platform can carry multiple kinds of content and functions. The description that fits this best talks about combining two or more types of media into one device. Think of a smartphone: it handles photography, video, music, internet access, apps, and more all in one place. This blending changes how media is produced, distributed, and consumed, enabling cross‑media experiences and integrated services. The other descriptions describe separating media across devices, a general move from analog to digital, or corporate mergers, none of which capture the idea of media types coming together into one platform.
