Henry Jenkins, Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide (New York: NYU Press, 2006).
Internet usage vs the most populated areas in the world - Asia, athough the most populous is still far behind
Co nvergence is a word that manages to describe technological, industrial, cultural, and social changes depending on who's speaking and what they think are talking about (Jenkins)

It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.
Convergence A process called the “convergence of modules” is blurring the lines between media, even between point to point communications such as the post, telephone and telegraph and mass communication such as the press, radio, and television . A single physical means - be it wires, cables or airwaves - may carry services that in the past were provided in separate ways. Conversely, a service that was provided in any one medium - be it broadcasting, the press, or telephony - can now be provided in several different physical ways. So the one-to-one relationship that used to exist between a medium and its use is eroding ” Pool, 1983 Co nvergence is a word that manages to describe technological, industrial, cultural, and social changes depending on who's speaking and what they think are talking about (Jenkins)
