Multimedia

When we think about what multimedia means we instantly associate it with things like Television, Radio, PC.
However, these things are not multimedia. Multimedia to do with things which you can interact with, so for example when your watching a program and the present mentions 'The Red Button' that is an interactive source, this enables you to view information whilst watching a different program, something similar can also be found on a blu-ray disc, where you are able to view behind the scenes commentary whilst the movie is still playing.


The other interactive source is of an ipod, because you see when you are using the spinning dial you are interacting with ipod as you scroll through your music, for other ipods like for example; Ipod touch, the interactive source would be that it is touch screen and the name 'touch screen' clearly says it all.

Something else which you would associate with interactivity would be the Wii games console, its controllers are interactive. These controllers allow you to move around and actually do the actions of the character, for example when playing boxing or tennis you would have to do the actions in order to play the games.
