Definition
- Multimedia refers to the integration of multiple media forms, including text, music, spoken words, video, illustrated graphics, and still photographs, to communicate unified messages that, ideally at least, are also interactive. Optical data storage made multimedia a watchword in the computer industry in the mid-1980s, and after the release of the multimedia-rich Mosaic Web browser in 1993, combined-media forms have been increasingly apparent on the Internet.
