The World Of Multimedia

Where do you commonly use multimedia in your daily life, list as many examples as you can.
In class, at home, on the bus.

What multimedia device or service would you find it hardest to be without? Discuss.
The Computer. Without a computer, school researching would become much more difficult, as we would have to venture to the library every time, and it would take much longer to do as much research in a hour with books, rather than the internet. Computers also create many different ways in which we can easily and quickly communicate around the world.
