3. 1.1 Introduction
The advanced of digital technology now make major changes to the world, the birth
of a variety of digital technology are getting progressive. Human being is the inventor of the

Multimedia is one of the advanced technology nowadays. The combination of
graphic, text, sound, audio and video are called multimedia. Multimedia can be divided into
two which are linear and non-linear multimedia. The different between these two is
interactive. Linear multimedia can be define as a something that we can't interact. For
example, when we watching a movie at cinema. We just watch the movie until the end
without giving a chance to change the ending or any part that we dislike. Its different with
non-linear multimedia, while designing game using Adobe Flash for example, we can
change the shape, size of the text, do animation and others. In short, its something that not
fixed, something that we can interact or change according to what we want.

friends to get the meaningful content in information without throw away the traditional
method.
