• Multimedia is a combination of two words: "multi"
meaning many and "media" meaning a means of
communication.
• The term media in multimedia comes in various
forms which we will be discussing at the latter part
of this lesson.

plural form of medium which
means "facilitating or linking
communication".
• A medium, in layman's terms, is
something used to convey a
message.

paintbrushes, canvas,

of communicating his
imagination, whereas a
musician's media are
this instruments and
singing voice.
