So that Multimedia can be interpreted as a tool that is able to share various forms of information in the form of text (writing), images, sounds, videos and animation, which are made in digital form.

Multimedia is a new concept and technology in the field of information technology, where information is in the form of text,

images, sounds, videos, and animations are put together in a computer to be stored, processed and presented in a linear, one-way or interactive manner (2-way).

2. Elements of Multimedia

         Multimedia is a combination of several media from images, videos, audio and others, which are known as multimedia elements, while the elements are as follows:

1. Text or writing is the most basic thing in this multimedia context. Usually text is used to make it easier for users to find information.
2. Images, with images or images that are universal in nature, make it clearer in understanding the text and information that users get.
3. Sound or audio, usually sound is a complement to a video or animation that has been made. If there is no sound or audio, usually information in the form of video or animation that has been made will be less interesting if it is not accompanied by sound.
4. Video, different from aniamasi. The difference is that the video displays images in sequence and results from events that really exist.
5. Animation is a moving image created through an electronic device such as a computer to simulate something to clarify information.

3. Multimedia benefits

At education field

In the field of health

Make it easier for Doctors and Nurses to monitor patients 'health monitor patients' heart rates through computer monitors, blood flow, examine organs in patients with X-rays. It is a health technology that is combined with Information and Computer technology.

In Other Fields

The benefits of computers in everyday life are very many and very helpful, simplify, speed up human work including:

Transportation Sector

With computers all schedules and flight paths that transit in the airport can be programmed and scheduled with a computer. To fly the plane itself is equipped with computer equipment. Even after reaching a certain height the aircraft can be automatically flown with an automatic pilot programmed into the computer.

With computers, navigating ships can be determined by the coordinates and direction of the ship's movements. Likewise, ticket sales at airports, stations, and bus terminals are served quickly using computers.

Field of Goods Shipping Services

The Post Office can send documents shipping goods faster and more accurately. With computers and the internet people no longer wait for days to receive letters, just by email is faster in an instant, so the world becomes increasingly narrow in the sense that it can be accessed so quickly.

Field of the Automotive industry

The cars are made from body frames, engines, electronic equipment in the factory with the help of robots controlled by computers more accurately. With the help of computers, automotive factories can produce cars in the number of hundreds of months, which is impossible to do manually with human power.

Field of Construction Services

With computers, engineers and architects design construction drawings with accurate, fast and precise modeling and calculations. Image construction is designed using a CAD program, while the calculation of analysis and analyzer strength uses the SAP2000 or STAD III program which is operated with the help of a computer.

Field of Printing Services

Printing of newspapers, magazines, books, all done by machines operated by computers so that in a short time can print books or magazines or newspapers in the number of hundreds or even millions of copies, can save time and money, if done manually by humans, need how many thousands to type in newsprint and how long it takes to finish.

Field of Film Industry

All effects in the world of acting, animation, and editing movie scenes are all recorded with electronic devices connected to computers. Animations are also developed using animations made with computer applications.
