"Multi" indicates quantity, "Hyper" indicates quality. In HyperMedia you
put several media together in such a terrific way, so the unity becomes a
new sort of medium: a HyperMedium.
Sound-film is an example of a HYPERmedium: Two different media, phonography
and cinema, make a new medium. Note that cinema (and TV) is non-interactive!
A typical example of MULTImedia is all these live music conserts with
lasers, fireworks, computer aided animation, etc. etc. (Thinking esp. of
Jean-Michel Jarre's concert, 14 July in Paris). These conserts are neither
hyper nor interactive, but impressive!
Just MHO...
