Convenience and Convergence Driving Develoment in Technology and hence Digital Forensic Research

"Change is for good but change is resisted initially" is what we have learned in last decade.  To add, I have observed that change is accepted only when its for providing convenience  viz. wired phone to cordless phones to mobile phones. To provide convenience in today's era convergence that too convergence of technologies is turning out the preferred medium. Earlier on a holiday we used to carry a digital camera, a handy cam, a phone, a music player etc. but today all have been replaced by convergence of technologies which brings all these features in a single device i.e. mobile phone. We have enormous number of examples in our daily life where convergence of technologies are being used to provide Convenience. The research in the area of information security and digital forensic must take into consideration this trend and hence direct research efforts to solve problems arising out of this convergence.
