About this title

Synopsis

The term multimedia has become something of a catch-all phrase for a large array of new communications technologies - interactive television, video-on-demand, high-definition television and virtual reality - to name a few. It qualifies as one of the buzz words of the 1990s, along with similarly fashionable phrases such as cyberspace and Internet. Many references to multimedia have little more substance than marketing hype. Authors of some of the more popular literature speak in terms of "the next millennium" and urge people "to embrace this social change that promises to usher in a new pattern of communication". At the same time, a wealth of literature is rapidly accumulating on multimedia developments, particularly in popular and "how-to" genres, and on technical aspects. Critical examinations of multimedia from social science perspectives need fuller investigation. This book is intended as a contribution to this category of literature. It is a collection of reflections on multimedia - its technical and theoretical basis, some of its educational and informational applications, and research approaches and considerations.
