Multimedia is a connection among many different things. They might be art, like painting, photographing and any other image capturing activity. They might be sound art, like poetry and music which right brain is more incline into it. It could be a myth like old cave painting which express the feeling of the person who draw them. This might represent as picture or sculpture. It may be an ideal that represent as a sound like reciting poetry or famous speeches, where someone records what important for him or her like music.
The biggest connection of multimedia happened when it reaches a community level. This are the times of festivals, celebrations and many other civil gatherings. The time of civil gathering many multimedia are taking place such as cultural displays both in material and immaterial. This is when right brain meets left brain. Community show what they produce abstractly to connect what they produce in reality which is concretely. At this time, community pulls together it is heritage into one big culture event. It is when the use of technology is so important.
No matter what kind of technology cassette player, radio, TV and Computer the connection of multimedia will take place whether is in pen and paper, feather and tablet or cinema or photographic or DVD. Artists, philosophers, civil leaders and technologists are the connectors. They either possess right brain or the left brain but in the time of community gathering it is a time of connection.
