The Great Convergence (continued) We have the creation of a global, Web-enabled playing field that allows for multiple forms of collaboration – the sharing of knowledge and work – in real time, without regard to geography, distance, or, in the near future, even language.  The field now includes some 3 billion new people, formerly digitally disenfranchised.
