What is convergence?

"What is convergence?"
I went to Google to search the definition of what convergence would mean and I came across a term more specifically pertaining to what is called,"Technological convergence" which means, "the tendency for different technological systems to evolve towards performing similar tasks". But the more broader meaning of convergence is when there is an occurrence of two or more things that come together. Although I do not fully understand the meaning of this term and what it can refer to, I think it means that convergence is when different technology sources like telephony features, video, and other applications would come together, share resources and work together to create a more efficient and useful appliance. Basically, the combination of different technologies working together to create a better resource is impacting and changing the way people are learning and interacting. Because I use technology in my daily life, I am able to experience the meaning of "convergence" and it is quite interesting to know that I adapt to those changes and convergences.
