    On the other hand based on observations of human capacity in receiving and considering the information it receives, according to Research Computer Technology Research (CTR); * Humans able to remember 20% of what he sees * Humans able to remember 30% of what he heard * Humans are able to remember 50 % of the heard and seen * Humans able to remember 70% of what he saw, heard and done
    Referring to the results of that research, technology experts trying to make technology that allows people to obtain information in a way that wants to see, hear and experience (the actors) in it.
MULTIMEDIA CAPABILITIES
Multimedia capabilities facilitate human activities including: * Changing the workplace. With teleworking, employees can perform the work of the office does not have to. Examples of software that support teleworking and telecommunicating is Netmeeting! * Change the way of shopping. Homeshooping / teleshooping can be used by using the internet facility * Change the way of learning. Schools began using the multimedia computer. Learning on-line, e-learning using e-book. * Etc.
