    Solution

    The unlimited proliferation of interlinked smartphones, tablet devices, sensors, sophisticated algorithms, databases, and other elements has resulted in the convergence of the real and digital worlds. Users can find out the locations of stores, restaurants, and other locations using global positioning systems (GPS) embedded in their mobile phones and tablet devices. Databases on consumers and inventory make targeted marketing plans possible. Apps allow consumers to search for and find the lowest prices on products and the locations of the stores that sell them from their smartphones. The increase in available bandwidth and wireless "hot spots" allow users to connect to the Internet and download data in multiple spaces such as airports and coffee shops without being tethered to a cable. This ability to connect almost anywhere has resulted in this convergence of real and digital worlds.
