Hypermedia and multimedia are the same in my mind. Hypertext is the
original term that was coined quite some time ago. Carrying the idea
of links between "units" of text to links between "units" of images,
audio, video, etc. gets us to hypermedia.
Multimedia is perhaps a subset that simply means "multilpe forms of
media," i.e., text, audio, video, images, etc. It's hard to imagine
multimedia without hyperlinks though so we're back where we started.
