Task1

Portability: A measure of system independence; portable programs can be moved to a new system by recompiling without having to make any other changes. This new media techology enables people to easily transfer technolgy products, for example mobile phones and laptops. As time progresses and technology inproves more equiptment gradually becomes protable, making it more of an advantage to purchase. A clear example of this is memory stick as the memory storage they have is ever continuing to grow.

Convergence: This allows different types of media to become joined such as television and the world wide web. What exactly convergence is can depend on whom is asked. For example The business pages of a daily paper will state with authority that convergence is the driving force behind cable company NTL's merger with Virgin Mobile, while the technology supplement writes about the latest converged handset.

Interactivity: In computers, interactivity is the dialog that occurs between a human being (or possibly another live creature) and a computer program. (Programs that run without immediate user involvement are not interactive; they're usually called batchor background programs.) Games are usually thought of as fostering a great amount of interactivity.
You can interact through the televsion too, you can do this by pressing the red button to vote or subcribe to something shown on television. Interactivity is used within most new media technogies as it enables consumers to interact efficiantly at all times.
