You'll be happier with your definitions of these terms if you think of them as descriptive adjectives instead of categories. There are matters of degree, just as with "interactive" or "colorful". While there are categories (non-interactive vs. some interaction, no colors vs. some color), we soon learn that there are poor uses of any medium: awkward interactions, confusing colors, poor choices of fonts, and misuses of multi- or hyper- media. -- Larry Masinter (masinter@parc.xerox.com) Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) 3333 Coyote Hill Road; Palo Alto, CA USA 94304 Phone: (415) 494-4365 Fax: (415) 494-4333
