Nowadays interactivity is used a lot through apps like Snapchat, Instagram andYouTube.
You have your own custom profile and you can upload your own content.An advantage of
this is you can write or post about your day and go back to it in a couple years.
Personalisation is more common an example is Netflix it recommends what you should
watch from what you've watch already and it looks at what type of films/series you would
like.An advantage of this is you can watch something you like quickly from suggestions so
you don't struggle browsing.
Also connectivity is better nowadays since you can talk to someone usingWhatsApp
or Skype from across the country. An advantage of this is it is faster and easier to talk to
your family or friends.
Finally convergence is different is because now you have a camera in your phone so you
don't need to buy a camera you could just use your phone.Another example is you don't
need a mp3 player anymore because you can listen to music on your phone. an advantage
of this is you can save money buy just getting a phone and its easier. A disadvantage is mp3
players or cameras will not be needed anymore.
