4 men, 4 phones, 1 speaker = media convergence.
"A band called Atomic Tom offered a fascinating full-band performance using four iPhones and a portable speaker system."
The convergence of music and phones is not a new idea per say, yet the above it. Actually using a phone to create music is a new way of blending two different types of media. I think of convergence as accessibility. It speaks to our current, fast paced, instantly gratifying culture that convergence exists. How would we ever survive without place holder instruments on our phones? I love this video. It is creative, entertaining, and new, but it does bring up some thoughts. I am not saying that I think convergence is bad, its not, it brings ease, and much more into peoples lives, I am merely asking, at what point is it too much?
