CONVERGENCE IN OTHER AREAS
Convergence is also taking place in other areas of commerce and technology. An auto industry conference called "Convergence 2000" promoted the convergence of technology and automobiles, including in-car navigation systems, entertainment systems, and always-on Internet connections. Convergence has become more of a reality in the financial services market, as banking, investing, and insurance were consolidated under one roof at some financial institutions.
