Abstract
In the first part of this paper we argue that the terms "multimedia" and "hypermedia" need redefining to reflect latest developments in converging technology. We propose new forms of "interactive" and "annotated" movies, to be created using advanced digital techniques. In the second half of the paper we suggest that some of the problems that users of Internet are currently experiencing are due to "first generation" systems, but that "second generation" answers have already emerged.
Keywords
Converging technology, multimedia, hypermedia, interactive and annotated movies, Internet, Hyper-G.
