Multimedia: An Introduction
"Multimedia: An Introduction" is a publication by the Department of Multimedia, dedicated to issues in multimedia communication.
From an excerpt of a review: Throughout the long and complex history of civilization, people have used various methods to communicate. For centuries, oral tradition dominated. It was through this tradition that, among other things, Homer’s verses survived. Then writing emerged. Written messages were in many ways superior to those conveyed orally, because the sender and recipient did not have to be in the same place—or even at the same time. The invention of printing further streamlined and improved this written communication. However, the development of electronics, telecommunications, and computer science—which began in the 20th century and has gained significance in the 21st—has led people to desire more multidimensional forms of communication, ones that are tailored to the richness of the senses and more engaging. A demand for multimedia has emerged. And since people want to use multimedia, they also need knowledge about it.
