1. Multimedia is any computer application that integrates text, graphics, animation, video, audio or other methods of communication. Multimedia is different from television, books or CDs because it lets you interact with the application. You may click on a word to make picture appear or click on a picture to start a video.

2. Multimedia became more popular after the mid-1990-s when people started using it in industry, business, education, entertainment and for other purposes. Today we can find multimedia at home, in school, at work, in public places, such as libraries and on the Internet.

3. In business advertisers use virtual reality in multimedia applications to advertise their products in   3-D. Using multimedia for graphics and tables is now the best way for managers to present company results. In industry pilots learn to fly using multimedia simulations of real situations and scientists simulate experiments with dangerous chemicals in safety. Publishers are also producing interactive magazines called e- zines and e-books online

4. In education students study interactive CD-ROMs at their own speed and explore topics creatively by clicking on related links. Teenagers have played computer games for years. But many multimedia applications combine education and entertainment and they let people visit virtual words or change the ending of films.
