Introduction to Multimedia Applications & Tools

After reading the wikipedia entry on multimedia, I now have a better idea of what multimedia actually is and what it has the potential to be. Multimedia is a combination of multiple forms of media, hence "multi"-"media". Some different types of media that can be combined to become multimedia include: text, audio, still images, animation, video, interactivity, etc. Multimedia is how a lot of today's information is exhibited and transfered to people all over the world. An example of multimedia is a powerpoint presentation, where still images, text and occasionally audio and animations are combined to present information.
