Discuss the differences among multimedia, interactive multimedia, hypertext, and hypermedia.
Multimedia
Use of computers to present text, graphics, video, animation, and sound in an integrated way.
On the Internet you can often find multimedia elements embedded in web pages, and modern web browsers have support for a number of multimedia formats. When someone turns on a computer, puts a CD (compact disc) in its CD drive, and listens to music, she is experiencing multimedia.
Interactive Multimedia
Interactive multimedia is the uses of content forms that includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms sometimes called "rich media" or interactive multimedia that describes as electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. It allows learners to provide input to an online course and receive feedback as a result of the input.

Hypertext
Hypertext is text which is not constrained to be linear. Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts.
You can move from one object to another even though they might have very different forms. For example, while reading a document about Mozart, you might click on the phrase Violin Concerto in A Major.
Hypertext system are particularly useful for organizing and browsing through large databases that consist of disparate types of information. Today, nearly every page includes links to other pages and both text and images can be used as a link to more content.
Hypermedia
Hypermedia, a term derived from hypertext, extends the notion of the hypertext link to include links among any set of multimedia objects, including sound, motion video, and virtual reality. It can also connote a higher level of user/network interactivity than the interactivity already implicit in hypertext. Hypermedia simply combines hypertext and multimedia. Hypermedia should not be confused with hyper graphics or super-writing which is not a related subject.
QUESTION 5
Your boss wants you to create a hypermedia system for Web visitors to find technical support information about your company. What are some of the implications in creating this system? Should you hand-build the links or use an automatic indexing system? Why?
Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyper links intertwine to create a generally non-linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia, which may be used to describe non-interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. Hypermedia includes use of sound, video, image and text. This helps the user to know about the product of the company. The user can view and test the product so for as view of the product is concerned. However the hypermedia restricts the speed of web and it also enhances the time taken for opening of the site.So for as the use of hand build indexing system and automatic indexing is concerned, it is the glue that holds the content together. It is the layer of order which makes data base product, robust, and responsive, thus best ever to serve the needs of organization. However without automatic indexing, one may find the precise bit of data that will ignite a new market.
