 1. Convergence refers to two or more technologies combining into one - making calls with the telephone and taking pictures with a camera can now be done with a single smartphone. When it comes to media an example can be the combination of sound like music or voice and video to make movies.

2. Globalization in this case refers to companies selling their products to other countries and influencing their cultural and economic evolution for their own profit.

3. Postmodernity (the information age, the network era, the third wave, post-industrial society, the digital age...) is the age of today and refers to the production of services based on information and the new comfortable style of making customizable goods instead of one-size-fits-all goods produced during a poorer time.

4. Simulations refer to images which once referred to reality but are now distorted beyond recognition into images with no palpable connection to the real. The media can use simulations for their benefit.
