Right now I'm back inside..... and when outside on that particular trip I did not use any multimedia....
anyway, perhaps you are not old enough to have experienced multimedia growth. In the mid to late 1990's the multimedia CD was introduced. Encyclopedias, virtual tours...etc. They were big for a while, but faded. In 2000 my PS2 could play a video game, a dvd or a cd.... and had internet connectivity (as an add on).
The new surge in "multimedia" is being fueled by the iPad, and the potential other devices that will be coming out over the next few years. Mobile devices are the rage, and that started many years ago..... Laptops have outsold desktops for several years now, and many think the "iPad like devices" will replace many of those for the HOME USER.......
