What makes multimedia click?


          Multimedia - I'm sure you've all heard of it before. Yes, we know of the word but only a few of us really know what it actually means. Multimedia involves the use of 2 or more of the following elements: sound, text pictures and animation. These are the things that multimedia is composed of. A few examples of them are
             
        visual presentations (power point, charts),


             
                        video games, 

movies and

             
                         websites.

Multimedia has gotten big over the past few years. A lot of people use multimedia everyday. Now, what makes multimedia click and how is the "bomb"?

          What do you think are the primary factors in multimedia? Of course! It's the interactivity and appeal to the 5 senses. That's the main reason why many people are engaged in multimedia. Multimedia is interactive in a way that it lets the viewer to be physically or mentally involved. It appeals to the 5 senses through the selection of sounds/audio, pictures, special effects to make the viewer seemingly feel it, and the like. The selection of these things may appear pleasant or harsh to the viewers. Multimedia has produced virtual games, interactive social medias, videos & movies, and many more.

          Multimedia has taken its toll on us. The satisfaction it gives us is proof of its success. It is a source of both information and entertainment. Multimedia would be very hard to replace, and I hope it stays that way. The plans on virtual reality isn't good news, it's horrifying. Let us stop ourselves from being consumed by the joyous results it gives us. Multimedia is a gift, but we should be careful of our own mindset - traces of human activity may be eliminated soon.
