As depicted in Figure 1-1, this definition contains four components essential to multimedia. First, there must be a computer to coordinate what you see and hear, and interact with you. Second, there must be links that connect the information. Third, there must be navigational tools that let you traverse the web of connected information. Finally, because multimedia is not a spectator sport, there must be ways for you to gather, process, and communicate your own information and ideas. 

If one of these components is missing, you do not have multimedia. For example, if you have no computer to provide interactivity, you have mixed media, not multimedia. If there are no links to provide a sense of structure and dimension, you have a bookshelf, not multimedia. If there are no navigational tools to let you decide the course of action, you have a movie, not multimedia. If you cannot create and contribute your own ideas, you have a television, not multimedia. ]]> 2022-02-11 18:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/malaraoskar/uz8x3o55to23g9g1/wish/2042933890 Course Requirements malaraoskar https://padlet.com/malaraoskar/uz8x3o55to23g9g1/wish/2042952364

I will be studying Multimedia throughout the UFirst Programme for the duration of it, and hopefully if it sparks some interest in me I might continue if I ever get accepted once I apply
    My inspirations in Multimedia are Ghibli Productions and Old B&W Film productions such as Frankenweenie, Ring & Nosferatu. { Alongside the overall theme of the padlet being B&W :) }]]>     2022-02-11 19:02:53 UTC https://padlet.com/malaraoskar/uz8x3o55to23g9g1/wish/2043019105
