| The computer is
an extension of mind. Multimedia enhances this extension further
by incorporating the sensory inputs of the mind namely sound and
visuals, enriching the way we receive, store, retrieve and interact
with the information.
At the functional level, multimedia is a digital integration of
multiple media including text, pictures, animation, sound, video.
Not only this. What provides meaning to this mix is interactivity,
which lets the user interact with the material, to get the multi
sensory information, to investigate and explore, thus transforming
a passive recipient in to an active participant.
