Multimedia

As the name implies, multimedia is the integration of multiple forms of media. This includes text, graphics, video, audio, etc. For example, a presentation involving audio and video clips would be considered a "multimedia presentation". Educational software that involves animations, sound, and text would be called "multimedia software". CDs and DVDs are often considered to be "multimedia formats" since they can store a lot of data and most forms of multimedia take up a lot of space. Since multimedia is so commonplace today, due to the advancements in computer speeds and storage, the term "multimedia" doesn't produce the same excitement is once did. This also means it isn't as overused as was it was back in the '90s. Thank goodness.
