Multimedia is the marriage of computers and television.
It is the fusion of information and communication. Its effect will be chiefly economic as whole industries collide and converge, producing a single electronic mega-information industry of the future. The subject is not the snapshot, nor is it the locomotive. It is the process of change itself as we rush from a static print-based representation of knowledge to fluid, electronic representations of knowledge. The marvel is that these new windows of learning will be opened to us on a commonplace desktop computer.
