As a consumer and user of multimedia products, I know first hand some of the main advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I really do appreciate the different ways in which I use multimedia products. My favorites include Encarta CD Rom Encyclopedia and Real Player . Because of these sites, and others, I have been able to expand my horizions without even leaving the comfort of my own room. The disadvantages of the trend might be that people become to reliant on these products for information, they might not consider how relaiable the source is.
Multimedia is the way of the future.
I honestly don't think that there is anywhere to go in this industry but up. I feel grateful every day that I am here to see this happening around me, and to expirence both the good and the bad.
