 Communications: Multimedia

Multimedia is the use of advanced computer technologies to deliver information from different media in a single dynamic, interactive digital format.

Also referred to as "interactive media" or "new media", multimedia is the combination of traditionally separate media such as text, images, sound, music, and video in a seamless digital format which allows the user to explore information at their own pace and direction.

By enabling access to the vast amounts of digital information that can be stored on a CD-ROM or website, multimedia represents a new and extremely powerful means of communication, entertainment and creative expression, and has many significant commercial applications in areas such as marketing and training.

Global economic significance.

Multimedia represents the convergence of 5 key world-wide industries- personal computing, consumer electronics, publishing, entertainment and telecommunications.

Each of these has already embraced, or is moving rapidly toward, the use of interactive digital information systems for delivering information customised specifically to individual consumers' needs.

Multimedia technology can be cost effectively employed by businesses to create engaging and highly persuasive applications that are customised for every individual client by enabling the user to control the nature and direction of their experience.

The potential benefits that flow on from such targeted communication are virtually limitless, as is demonstrated by the exponential take-up of multimedia strategies by large and small progressive firms around the world.
