MULTIMEDIA
Multimedia refers to the use of multiple forms of media or content to
convey information, ideas, or entertainment. It combines different
elements such as text, images, audio, video, animations, and interactivity
to create a richer, more engaging experience than using a single form of
media alone. Multimedia is commonly used in a variety of fields,
including education, entertainment, advertising, web design, and digital
art.
