`Understanding Hypermedia' provides a timely introduction to these revolutionary new media, for the general reader, the student, and for those with a professional interest: creatives, educationalists and information or entertainment planners. "Hypermedia" is compter software that combines video, graphics, animation, music and text - and programmes can now be designed for viewing on an ordinary television set. These combinations of digital sounds and images engage their audience in a revolutionary new way: viewers can make choices, react, experiment, ask questions, and invent solutions; they can interact with and influence what they are watching. Viewers can be encouraged to learn, to understand, to buy or simply to enjoy a new entertainment experience.
