Multimedia literacy

It is no longer the  time  when literacy is mainly depend on paper-based read and write. Multimedia, which utilizes several different content forms to convey information(text, sound, graphics, animation,video, etc.), has largely replaced the basic literacy of "reading"and "writing", thus greatly enriched the diversity of literacy.

Multimedia can be largely associate with the creation of modern arts. By using various of computer program, many great and creative ideas can be well expressed. Since multimedia has enabled the presentation of many special effect (such as 3D effect) which is impossible to display by man-made painting, it gives rise to a far greater visual impact and infectivity. Giving examples to this,  just think of the advertisement and propagating poster we see every day.

Since the software of personal laptop has become increasingly powerful, it is no longer a dream for normal people to create their own multimedia product. By combining text, sound, images, as well as motion pictures and manage them interactively via a computer, people can make their own creative painting or even make a movie. 

As in our college study, multimedia has also taken an important part. Remember when we taking classes,  the power point used to give us brief outline of knowledge, the video professor shown in class, and even this  blog  entry I am writing for my WRA homework.. all of these are based on the multimedia!  In this modern society where multimedia is so prevalent,  it seems that we simply can not living without it.
