    1.     Describe what characteristics a block of text might have.

Characteristics of the text describe qualitatively the style of the text. This is partly a subjective dimension, but can also be more objectively described with diligent analysis of the original text. It is also a relative dimension, since it can only be measured against other texts. original text can be characterized as being:

1.       repetitive

2.       idiomatic

3.       terminology-rich

4.       terminology-poor

Repetitiveness means that the text contains more repetitions of individual terms or words, phrases, sentences, and even full paragraphs than usual.

Idiomatic is in many respects the opposite of repetitive. Basically idiomaticity means the use of the expressive possibilities of the language to the fullest in the text. It may imply a large variance of words or the use of rare words and colorful idioms.

Terminology-rich means that the text contains more specific terminology than usual. Specific terminology is understood here as words and phrases being used only within a specific field or having meanings deviant from general vocabulary.

Terminology-poor is not exactly the opposite of terminology-rich. It can be understood to mean that the text simply uses only general vocabulary and thus should be understood by anyone with good general knowledge of the language.

    2.    Describe what characteristics a typeface might have.

Because traditional typefaces were difficult to read on computer monitors, special typefaces such as Microsoft’s Verdana were designed specifically for the computer. The new font was stripped of all features that were redundant in other typefaces when viewed on the Web.

The balance between straight, curve and diagonal has been meticulously tuned to ensure that the pixel patterns at small sizes are pleasing, clear and legible.

The reason why some viewers are unable to see fonts the way website creators Intended is due to the fact that file formats don’t actually save fonts in the file itself. If a font is to be displayed properly it must be installed to the user’s system font directory. If the font isn’t installed, the browser will select a default typeface to display the text. Times and Courier are pre-installed with just about every browser. The Mac and Windows computers however ship with a different set of fonts.

The ASCII code set on which HTML was created includes only the 26 letters of the Roman alphabet and the most basic of punctuation.

In the early days of the Web, when typefaces other than Times and Courier were uncommon, web designers had to find a way to overcome the problem so they could incorporate their elaborately styled fonts on to their web pages. Therefore, they found that if they created the font using an image-editing package such as Adobe Photoshop and saved their type as a graphic they could display the desired font using HTML

    3.    Discuss the problems encountered using text across computer platforms and in different

languages

cross-platform and cross-application delivery has not been achieved for all of the characters that these texts include. An ideal solution to the problems in character representation would be cross-platform, flexible, and durable. Many in the computing, publishing, and library worlds have suggested that the Unicode standard is the wave of the future.

    4.      Discuss the differences among multimedia, interactive multimedia, hypertext, and hypermedia.

Multimedia is the combination of text, sound, animation, video that delivered to people by computer or others electronic or digitally manipulated means. Therefore, when we put together element of multimedia that are pictures and animation, engaging sounds, compelling video and some textual information, it can help you to read the thought and mind of people. In addition, multimedia is easy to use and integrated and interactive but of course it is expensive and requires special hardware.

Interactive multimedia is related to the concepts interaction design, new media, interactivity, human computer interaction, and includes specific cases such as interactive advertising, social media, virtual reality, and so on.

Hypertext is text which is not constrained to be linear and contains links to other text. Therefore, you can move from one subject to another even thought they might have different forms. Hypertext usually related to web pages.

Hypermedia is a term derived from hypertext, extends the notion of the hypertext link to include links among any set of multimedia objects such as sound, motion video and virtual reality. It also can connote a higher level of user interactivity than the interactivity already implicit in hypertext.

    5.    Your boss wants you to create a hypermedia system for Web visitors to find technical support information about your company. What are some of the implications in creating this system? Should you hand-build the links or use an automatic indexing system? Why?

Hypermedia is the use of text, data, graphics, audio and video as elements of an extended hypertext system in which all elements are linked, where the content is accessible via hyperlinks. This could help the user to understand more about the company because it allows to gather information in non-linear way which means that the users would have a choice as to what path the users want to takes in order to gather information.
