Students' experience of convergence

The recent use of convergence has changed the way radio is not only differently listened to but differently viewed.
The way it was viewed in the 1960s would have maybe a family or a group of friends sitting down to listen to someone talk and/or play music. Now I can't imagine myself making time for radio. It's what I listen to when I'm bored, getting ready or doing work.
Also, now it's much more interactive, I feel like I can have an input and an impact on the way it runs. There are so many areas of your life radio can fit into now, in all that you do and everywhere you go. It's now almost impossible to miss your favourite shows. In the 1960s, that wasn't the case.
Furthermore, the fact that you can see what's going on was a revelation to the way radio was viewed - with webcams, videos, Flickr photos and vodcasts.
