Which of the two categories of multimedia you are more inclined on using? Explain in no more
than 5 sentences.

Effective communication skills play a major role in keeping up with the pace of development
in today's competitive and constantly changing world, which is why I'm more inclined to
Non-Linear Media. Interaction helps me listen and understand my teachers' perspectives in
class, especially in this new normal way of learning. After listening and understanding what
teachers are speaking about, I can ask better questions with confidence and it will help me to
gain more knowledge. It also helps me to study better because I can just search for whatever I
need to learn on some websites. Non-Linear media somehow improve my communication skills
and make more friends online.
