Hypermedia

As I read I learned hypermedia is an extension of the term hypertext. This is a system in which various forms of information, such as data, text, graphics, video, and audio, are linked together by a hypertext program. A prime example of hypermedia is the World Wide Web. Hypermedia can be developed in a number of ways. One can write programs that link data or use multimedia software to create a special hypermedia application.

The iphone is a great example of hypermedia. It brings and links all these technologies together and creates a multi-use device. For example when the user buys an app with their iphone all forms of hypermedia are combined, linked and at the users exposure.
