Questions:
Think about your own media habits, what is own example of media convergence (any type of convergence is fine) that you’ve come across in the past week?
Thinking back to the primer for this week, do you think that media convergence is mentally stimulating or harmful for our attention spans? Both? Why?
As you’ve learned this week convergence often breeds consolidation. Considering recent tech attempts at mergers (Meta/Within; Microsoft/Activision), do you think there should be limits on technology consolidation? If so, where would you draw the line (think creatively here – # of brands, types of mediums owned? something else?)?
