What is Multimedia?

I believe that multimedia is, as implied by its name, multiple forms of media used within one general area or in a specific project. For example, sounds and music mixed with text and visual data. In art, multimedia is the use of different mediums in one piece, such as watercolors mixed with oil pastels and clay sculpture.Businesses can use multimedia to make their presentations and their products more interesting- adding music or a voice recording with a tutorial, animating their advertisements, etc etc.No matter where it's applied, multimedia usually attracts more attention to the item, which makes it great for business, art, and everything inbetween.
