With the presence of an interface, the person and the computer interacts with each other.
From a starting point, the person using a nonlinear multimedia is given a range of options that, according to his own preferences, will lead him to a new information.
Examples may include:
o A Website
o A search engine’s home page
o A DvD menu screen
o A Youtube Channel
o An anime or Korean drama streaming site
Advantages:
The person is in control and may use the multimedia according to his preferences and needs.

Imagine a movie. Normally a movie goes on a linear format, starting from point A and ending on point B. The viewer watches and needs not to do anything in order to enjoy the movie. However, if viewed on a DvD, the viewer is now given the option to choose which scenes to watch, which subtitles to use, and can now even pause and rewound the movie. Awesome, right?
