digital convergence

I have noticed that in the last few public appearances of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs the underlying theme is digital convergence of phone, TV, video, music and photos within the home. The PC plays the role of server and data storage; the xbox 360 and apple TV act as the router and menu system, and the flat panel, large screen TV is the display device. I believe this model will become dominant within the next few years and then will migrate into the work place for training and meeting (collaboration) functions
