The era when people had to put up with the ‘passive experience’ has come to an end. Each day new ideas are developed into creations that keep everyone interacting, and make us approach the new era where the ‘active/real experience’ is starting to dominate and change the World as we know it.

Convergence is helping in the matter, because people now enjoy all this new technologies and trends that are agreeably trying to keep going. We all know the ‘Internet’, and most people spend much of their time disposing of it, for whatever reasons there may be. Social Networking has taken a greater step and now billions of people around the world use sites as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and others, where one is being interactive. The new ‘touch’ devices that keep on being sold everyday to thousands, and the newest invention for Films, the ‘3D movies’, which are actually the result of people wanting to be more interactive and get more of the ‘real experience’. Such new games as the ‘Wii’ are bringing home the outdoors experience, where one can simulate a tennis match, exercise, dance, etc.

It is to be said that convergence is happening everywhere in the world and it is striking the Media Industries. More and more people are becoming used to the new ways of interaction, and it is not passive anymore.
