AI overview
Multimedia refers to the combination of different types of content—such as text, images, audio, and video—presented together in a single work or presentation. It matters because it allows creators to communicate information in richer, more engaging ways by using multiple forms of media simultaneously rather than relying on just one.

These include writing, audio, images, animations, or video, into a single presentation. This is in contrast to traditional mass media, such as printed material or audio recordings, which only feature one form of media content. Popular examples of multimedia include video podcasts, audio slideshows, and animated videos. Creating multimedia content involves the application of the principles of effective interactive communication. The five main building blocks of multimedia are text, image, audio, video, and animation.
