Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The convergence of media into a digital, computer-readable format has led to the creation of
hypermedia, integrated multimedia (text, video, pictures, sounds, and graphics). This convergence
has come together on the Internet, which incorporates all media. It has had several social
ramifications: a new town commons, redefined communities, mergers of media companies,
preservation of personal privacy, job security, and protection of intellectual property.
