The evolution of technology is the major factor for the fast development on computers and communications in the past 20 more years. From Analogue to Digital, especially the popularity of digital makes the Digital Convergence become an unavoidable trend. The integration on the technology of computers and communications creates innovative products and services. The thesis is to discuss the changes on ‘quality and quality’ caused by Digital Convergence.
Originally, computer and communication were developed in a parallel way. However, since the popularity of digitalization, especially the booming of internet and the breakthrough of bandwidth, Digital Convergence makes the boundary between computer and communication becomes less and less. The world of C&C is already a fact and 3C ( 2C plus consumer electronics) is just the next step. This implies the Digital home/Converged home is coming. Furthermore, with the development of wireless communication, the 3rd industry revolution is said to be coming.
This thesis starts from the background introduction about computer and communication, then looks into the impact from Digital Convergence. In the computer side, the development is from Mainframe to Personal Computer, from close architecture to open, from vertical to horizontal. In Communication side, it includes the development from analogue to digital, from fixed line to wireless, from GSM to 3G. All these technology development plus the revolution of internet makes a big evolution which facilitates the development of Digital Convergence. The integration effect caused by Digital Convergence will make the future world as an anytime and anywhere communication world, including the communication on voice/data/image. Obviously, Digital Convergence is going to level up the wisdom of human being’s life. Last but not the least, the discussion is about the strategies considered from the angle of computer supplier, operator and telecom equipment provider. The conclusion is that only when the enterprise is able to catch up the industry trend and to transform timely whenever necessary, it can therefore survive and keep the competitive advantage in the very competitive world.
