Amen, to that Jon! The last thing we need is yet another medium that gets
trivialized to the that it's believed that "anyone can do this--what's so
complicated about it? Just make it pretty and get it done.", etc.
Multimedia is a very powerful tool that has tremendous potential. However, the
process of producing a multimedia piece is more complicated than it appears.
This medium should be given credit where credit is due, but as you stated, it
should also be promoted that it is not as simple as it looks.
