Technological convergence is the tendency for different technological systems to evolve towards performing similar tasks (H-Ref 1.)
Putting the above information into my own words, I would describe convergance as two or more types of technology coming together to reach a common purpose or perform a common task. An example of this is the i-Phone which is designed to make communication easier through incorporating the internet allowing emailing to take place, the use of applications such as skype which allows video calls to take place along with the original funciton of the mobile which is simply talking to others.
