Abstract
Multimedia once referred to a simple sequential display as with slides combined with a recorded voice-over. The concepts of interactive multimedia and hypermedia were introduced to refer to media combined with an interactive linking structure. The meaning of multimedia has evolved and now subsumes these newer concepts. Multimedia is interaction with multiple forms of media supported by the computer. The computer is both the tool of multimedia and its medium. Without means of creation or distribution, the current interactive form of multimedia would not exist. The World Wide Web has dramatically increased the audience and use of interactive multimedia products, and will likely have a major influence on the form of multimedia for many years to come.
