Portable Document Format (PDF): is a file format used to present

documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware,


and operating systems. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete
description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts,
graphics, and other information needed to display it.

Hypertext: is text which contains links to other texts. The


term was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965. Hypermedia
is a term used for which is not constrained to be text: it can
include graphics, video and sound... for example.
Apparently Ted Nelson was the first to use this term too.

MP3: MP3 is a way of compressing a sound sequence into a very


small file, to enable digital storage and transmission It is fair to say
that the MP3 has revolutionised (and some may say terrorised) the
music world. MP3 is a shortened name for MPEG-2 audio layer III.
The format was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group,
hence the name. Unlike WAV files, MP3s are a lousy format. This
means that encoding audio to MP3 will reduce its quality, but also
reduce its file size.
The difference between MP3 and WAV
WAV: The WAV file one of the simplest digital audio file formats. Microsoft and IBM
originally developed WAV in 1991 for the use within Windows 3.1. The WAV File was
derived from the RIFF (resource interchange file format), which stored data in
indexed chunks. They work by taking an audio signal and converting it to binary
data. To do this, a device called an analogue to digital converter (AD) takes snapshot
slices thousands of times per second.
