A perfect example of convergence was picked up by the ever-dry blog Stuff White People Like (through the Los Angeles Times) concerning the iPhone: The risk for Apple iPhone users: They know too much. We are presented with many examples of how having constant access to so much information is helpful for the user, but probably extremely irritating for anyone around them. While it's arguable what constitues as useful and what constitutes as annoying, the point is that the iPhone gives access to phoning, music, photos, and internet, among others. By having access to the internet, the user has access to so many sources. Not only are Google and Wikipedia ridding the need for a classroom, but now you can carry the world of knowledge in your pocket!
