By convergent paradigms I mean the repurposing of the paradigms of the older media; a WEB site using repurposed paradigms, converges with the older media. Whereas a divergent paradigm, pulls away from the older media, forging a distinct identity for the WEB. Communications history teaches us that if a paradigm is sufficiently divergent, it will profoundly impact the very structure of society itself. Truly we live in interesting times.
