The Hardware Demands of Multimedia

1. For the four categories of IT referred to during the class discussion, research the current standards (i.e. middle of the range) for a multimedia-centric computer system.
2. Determine what these same standards were five years ago. (This is not so straightforward to work out!)
3. Identify and describe ten new multimedia-related technologies and services that have been developed (or increased dramatically in popularity) during the last ten years.

Identify and describe:

1. Five new jobs that have been created and supported by the multimedia industry,
2. Five existing jobs that have receded or been made redundant by the multimedia industry.
