it's a wacky world!

He he, in a class I'm teaching, just last week, students defined "convergence" as meaning "getting every kind of technology into a single, small (handheld) gadget". Terms like convergence and smartphone are, well, strictly open to interpretation (smile).Pat Palmer 01:13, 22 July 2008 (CDT)

And we stole converence fair and square from the numerical analysts.

My explanation of the other kind is when one observes spend too much time on the phone, too much time on the web, too much time texting, and too much television, when we have achieved true convergence, we will have enabled the wasting of time at the speed of light.
