User control over the application, engaging users actively instead of passively (like watching TV). Examples include clicking links, online exams, and driving simulations.

The ability to jump between different sections of a document or webpage, rather than reading in a linear order. It's like making a quick leap in a book, but much faster!

Multimedia applications delivered through computers, integrating various media components and allowing for user interaction. Examples include: video games, interactive web apps, CD-ROMs, and info kiosks.

Multimedia used in education, like CD-ROMs for preschoolers or virtual labs for biology.

Multimedia used for entertainment, including video games (on CDs and the web), gaming consoles (like X-box), and MP3 players/iPods.

Multimedia used to provide information, like interactive atlases or encyclopedias (e.g., Encarta), with multimedia elements like sound, video, and 3D animation.

Multimedia used in businesses for marketing, training, and communication, often delivered on CDs, the internet, or intranets.

Multimedia delivered using CD/DVDs, offering instant access but limited flexibility in updating the content; requiring a separate process to recreate and redistribute updated versions.

Multimedia delivered on the World Wide Web, allowing for easy updates and instant access to the latest content, but subject to slow connection speeds.

Computers and software used by multimedia developers to create and edit multimedia applications.

A file format commonly used for images that can be imported into many applications. It's a vector-based format meaning its images are scalable without losing quality.

A file format widely used for bitmapped images, offering support for multiple color depths and compatibility across different operating systems like Mac, PC, and Unix.

A file format known for its versatility and support for different color depths. Often used in applications like image editing, scanning, page layout, and word processing.

The process of converting real-world objects (like photographs or drawings) into digital images that can be used on a computer. This is usually done by cameras, camcorders, or scanners.

A measure of a digital camera's resolution, indicating how many millions of pixels it can capture in a single photograph.

A measure of how many dots are printed per inch of a surface. Higher dpi represents greater detail and sharpness in an image.

The amount of time a server is operational and connected to the internet.

A video camera that records and stores video footage onto a digital memory card or internal storage.

The process of converting analog video signals (like those from a camcorder) into a digital format that can be used by a computer.

A device that converts analog video signals to digital signals. Needed for analog camcorders, but not for digital camcorders.

The connection type used for high-speed transfer of digital video and audio data, often used to connect digital camcorders to computers.

An early internet search engine developed in 1990 by McGill University. It indexed FTP archives, enabling people to find specific files.

A device designed specifically for recording video images and audio on a storage medium. Can be analog or digital.

Video displayed using a personal computer.

A distributed document search and retrieval network protocol designed for the internet. It was developed in 1991 by the University of Minnesota, aiming to provide a similar functionality to the World Wide Web.

Videos embedded in web pages accessed using a browser.

Developed in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN, it sought to address the difficulty in accessing and sharing data due to varying encoding formats and network schemes.

Founded in 1995, a web directory (not a search engine) that initially provided a categorized list of websites, becoming a popular tool for navigating the early internet.

Video format used for feature-length films on commercial DVDs.

A search engine launched in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. It quickly gained popularity for its innovative approach to ranking websites based on relevance, revolutionizing internet search.

Small-format video designed for viewing on smartphones and handheld devices.

The initial stage of video creation involving planning and gathering resources, like storyboards or equipment.

The stage of video creation where actual filming and sound recording take place.

The final stage of video creation where the video is processed and finalized.

The process of transferring video footage from a camcorder or other source to a computer.

A technology that records electrical signals onto a medium like tape using magnetic encoding. This older technology results in image quality degradation over time.

A technology that records digital data (0s and 1s) onto a medium, resulting in no image degradation over time.

A digital video recording format with smaller cassette size and improved audio and video quality compared to 8mm.

A technology that displays images on a screen using a flat grid of pixels for high resolution and clarity.

A technology that displays images on a screen using a beam of electrons to activate phosphor dots. It offers lower resolution compared to flat panels.

A display resolution standard that interlaces lines of video signal for smoother motion, resulting in lower quality than progressive.

A display resolution standard that scans all lines of video signal for sharper, complete image, resulting in higher quality than interlacing.
