Convergence Culture

Hey everyone,
Today in New Media Frontiers class, we discussed the intro and first two chapters of the book Convergence Culture by Jenkins.

Three main themes were:
-Media Convergence
-Participatory Culture
-Collective Intelligence

The class as a group identified more with the topic of music instead of the "survivor craze." I think this is because music is something we deal with on a regular basis with itunes, ipods, youtube, etc., whereas most people do not have enough time on their hands to obsess about a show.
