Convergence Culture LOST in the Journey

Points covered in this video: - The emergence of 'Lost's convergence culture grew simultaneously as the foundations of Web 2.0 became more accessible.  - Lost fans set up wikis, blogs and podcasts - these digital outlets allowed clues to be shared and vast historical, scientific, cultural illusions could be explored.  - Fans connected online in order to figure out the mysteries of the island - Fans became engaged with back stories and alternative plots that may OR may not ever be addressed during the broadcasts of the episodes.  - Henry Jenkins' book 'Convergence Culture' states that "regardless of what develops beyond the original art, the quality and the dynamics of the story drives everything else." For Lost fans, what kept them engaged and invested in the series was the journey. How ever, the characters and the plots created the passion.
