Comprehending Convergence. Week 2

This was super duper easy for me to understand and it's colourful!





Convergence:
  • the occurrence of two or more things coming together -
  • the approach of an infinite series to a finite limit
  • overlap: a representation of common ground between theories or phenomena; "there was no overlap between their proposals"
  • the act of converging (coming closer)

Convergent technologies marry two functions together to create a super awesome new function..
or sometimes they are just bizarre...
