What is Multimedia?

Multimedia is a combination of text, graphic, video, and audio resources. When a multimedia presentation is done properly, each component reenforces the others. You can see, hear and read about the subject matter. However the drawback of multimedia is that it consumes a huge amount of Internet bandwidth and can take an unacceptably long time to download using a regular modem. This is why most web pages only have limited forms of Multimedia. Multimedia has found a home on CD-ROMs because these disks can store huge volumes of data, and the computer can read the data off the disks far faster than it could download it over a telephone line.
