Technological convergence is a phenomenon that has been with us for quite some period now, especially with the increased technological innovations.

Technical convergence refers to the and can be best described as the combination of two or more technological systems or devices into one device. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The examples of devices that have resulted from technological convergence include; 

1) Smartphones - smartphones have many devices incorporated in them which may include mobile phone, camera, torch, computer and radio among many others.

2) Smart Tv - these latest TVs have combined devices such as television, computer and video games.

3) A converged mechanical tool - this is a tool that has many tools in it, such as as bottle opener, pliers, screw driver and so on.

4) Digital cameras that can take photos, shoot videos, access the internet and store media.

5) Modems - that can store information just as flash disks and also provide internet connection.

Technological convergence is the process in which different technological systems evolve together in order to perform a similar task. For example, there are new phones coming out, taking over the old ones, because they can perform those same tasks but in more advanced manner and in the old times people used to listen to the radios and then they started listening to the radio with the help of the internet, but now they do not listen to the radios anymore because of the evolution of technological convergence. The reason for technological convergence is it's convenient and people have easier access to the things now as they had in the past. More technology means easier life.
The Internet so far is the best example of technological convergence because with the help of internet we can have access to anything in the world, for instance if we need to watch a movie or a show we will watch it online, if we have to listen to the latest song which came out or we need to access the radio of any country in the world we can do it with the internet.
People think phones and tablets are the examples of technological convergence but for them to work we need the internet eventually so the internet is the key to everything. These days the internet is being used for online schools and online degrees as well, people who do not have access to education around them or they cannot manage to go to school they can study online. And the people who have a restriction to stay at home, with the help of internet they can work online and earn extra bucks. 

Following are some of the examples of technological convergence:

- Smart TV
- Smart Phones
- Tablets
- Laptops
- Playstation, Xbox
