What Is It
Multimedia means that computer information can be represented through audio, video, and
animation in addition to traditional media. It is a sequential or simultaneous use of a variety
of media formats (people, text, visual, motion, audio, and manipulative) in a given presentation

The word multimedia comes from two Latin roots, multi and media. Multi means several or
many and media means in the middle. This multimedia definition tells us that materials on the
Internet or in your school and business presentations involve several forms of communication

recorded for played-back on computers, laptops, smartphones, and other electronic devices.
