However, those who don t may not understand what I mean when I say that the brief includes such things as pictures, sounds and movies. So here is an explanation. Pictures are easy to understand. Word processors can too, but they aren t very good at it. Sounds and movies work differently.
Web browsers display hyperlinks.
A hyperlink is a link to another file. If I point my mouse pointer to that text and press the mouse button, the web browser takes action. If the hyperlink is to another web page, then my browser will load up that page as if I had typed its address into the browser myself. If it is a movie or sound, the browser will download the file and play it through software that handles movies or sounds. Thus, my computer might start playing music or displaying a movie in a small window.
