Abstract: Abstract Technically, multimedia, as the name suggests, refers to the provision of a service through two or more media (channels of communication). However, the term has come to be used more commonly in the context of sending multiple services through a single medium such as a copper or fibre-optic cable. Multimedia has accordingly been defined as ‘the integration of a variety of audio-visual presentation methods into a single framework, using a personal computer as the ‘platform1 or basis’ (Financial Times, 17 October 1994, p. x).
