Multimedia software applications use a variety of content items to engage users.
Time for today's Latin lesson! The word multimedia comes from two Latin roots, multi and media: multi-, meaning several or many, and media-, meaning in the middle. This multimedia definition tells us that materials on the internet, or in your business presentations, involve several forms of communication to connect (that is, to be in the middle of) the sender and receiver. As any multimedia developer knows, a multimedia system consists of at least two, and perhaps all, of the following types of communication.
Text takes us back to how the internet started, as a means of sending written messages back and forth between researchers. Actually, it takes us back quite a bit further, as pretty much every office memo ever written has mostly consisted of text with perhaps a smidgen of other media types thrown in. Text is still a primary way to transmit information, although nowadays, it is also used to augment other forms of communication, such as a text description of a photograph.
Illustrations are perhaps the oldest form of media, harking back at least as far as the prehistoric paintings on cave walls found in various locations around the world. Gutenberg's printing press in the 1400's enabled mass distribution of multimedia works containing both text and images. The growth of electronic communications has meant that older text-only forms of communication could be enhanced with photographs and images as well. Small images such as thumbnails or icons are often used as a visual "entry point" to larger images or more detailed information.
Text and images sometimes combine in a single form, as many software programs make it easy to create text art, a form of lettering that combines a strong visual element as well.
Your website or presentation can add sound, from a musical background to a spoken explanation, by including audio files. Even digital cameras, a quintessentially image-based technology, have been engineered these days to record sound as well. Many sound files are compressed, which reduces the file size without greatly sacrificing sound quality. Compressed files require less storage space and stream faster when sent over the internet or transmitted to local systems.
Video presents moving pictures and typically combines images and sound for a compelling multimedia experience. Of course, videos can include text as well, which often appears as captioning for spoken words or as text in an image, as in the case of a slide presentation. Video files are some of the most memory-intensive multimedia applications, but clever streaming methods makes their use practical in everyday use.
Animated files occupy a middle ground between still images and video. GIFs, which is an abbreviation for graphic image files, in particular, are small files that present a single image or rapidly display a sequence of a few images to give the appearance of motion.

NORTH AMERICA: 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Surpasses $100M Mark on Thursday
By Daniel Garris
Fox's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes grossed $5.83 million on Thursday to lead the daily box office for a seventh consecutive day. In the process, the critically acclaimed 3D sci-fi action sequel surpassed the $100 million domestic mark yesterday. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes did drop 13 percent form Wednesday, but it should be noted that daily percentage declines in general were significant for wide releases on Thursday. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes easily led the weekly box office with a strong seven-day start of $102.95 million. That is a bit ahead of expectations and places the film an impressive 33 percent ahead of the $77.38 million seven-day take of 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Transformers: Age of Extinction held steady in second with $1.76 million. The fourth installment of Paramount's blockbuster sci-fi action franchise was down 10 percent form Wednesday, which represented the day's best daily percentage hold among wide releases. However, the film was still down 49 percent from last Thursday. Transformers: Age of Extinction placed in second for the week with $24.63 million. That was down 55 percent from the previous frame and brings the films three-week total to $217.16 million.
Warner's Tammy took in $1.30 million to remain in third. The Melissa McCarthy comedy fell 20 percent from Wednesday and 47 percent from last Thursday, as the film clearly took a hit from Sony's Sex Tape entering the marketplace on Thursday evening. Tammy finished in third place this week with $19.20 million. That represented a 41 percent decline from the previous week and brings the film's 16-day total to a very solid $63.65 million.
Family films How to Train Your Dragon 2 and Earth to Echo claimed fourth and fifth place on Thursday with respective daily grosses of $0.897 million and $0.816 million. Both films were down 24 percent from Wednesday. Fox's How to Train Your Dragon 2 placed in fourth for the week with $10.67 million, while Relativity's Earth to Echo took sixth place with $9.62 million. Respective total grosses stand at $156.87 million for How to Train Your Dragon 2 in 35 days and at $28.72 million for Earth to Echo in 16 days.
