Objectives Media technology has developed at a phenomenal rate in the last decade. Advances in micro-technology have enabled media devices to shrink in size, but increase in functionality and quality of presentation and output. Bulky cassette players which evolved into personal CD players have now transformed into MP3 and iPod players. The development of the internet and advancements in technology have made it possible for many media systems to be integrated and used for entertainment as well as their original purpose. It is now possible to watch interactive television programmes through the Internet, play computer games in a distributed environment and listen to music via the Internet through mobile phones or wireless digital entertainment systems. In addition, the availability of tools and techniques has made it possible to generate digital audio, animation and videos for use in a wide variety of applications.
