Media is the main means of mass communication (esp. television, radio, newspapers, and the internet) regarded collectively.
MULTIMEDIA is the combination of one or more media.
       When text, still images, sound, video, and animation are combined that is an example of multimedia.

3. How is multimedia effecting our daily lives? Do you think there such a thing as "too much media" in our lives?
Multimedia is affecting our daily lives by either helping make things easier for us. But, it is also affecting us negatively since it does somewhat cause us to "disconnect" from the real world. We can use it to better our society and make things more advanced and faster or we can take the wrong path and let it divide our society. Multimedia is a whole new revolution of technology and just in general advancement.
