Last week the Internationale Funkausstellung was held in Berlin. This is the largest consumer electronics convention in Europe, equaling and perhaps surpassing the CES show that occurs every January in Las Vegas. One of the central themes behind major new product launches was the Internet and the central role it is now beginning to play in the wirelessly networked home.
This has been something that has interested me for years and a subject about which I have written here and here in this blog. As recently as five years ago, the topic of convergence was a speculative, hot one in media and technology circles. The convergence discussed then was would there be convergence of the computer and the television? Would people ever fully accept viewing television content on the computer? Well we now have the answer to that loud and clear: yes! Even Steven Jobs doubted this would happen. He famously said that the profound difference between computers and televisions was that people leaned forward when interacting with computers and leaned back when watching television and that therefore this content convergence would not happen. Well it did.
