A definition of Interactive

Here we are. The first post. Ahhh. What can I say?

First off, I actually worked in interactive before I knew I worked in interactive. But because the term “interactive” coupled with “technology” has a completely different meaning than what anyone thinks of interactivity.

Or does it?

MIT defines Interactive as this:

Interactive: An electronic document that is designed to allow the audience to interact with it. Often referred to as “multimedia,” these documents usually take the form of a Web site or computer program.
This definition says, by excluding 100% interaction – a face to face conversation – that all multimedia pieces attempt to create a conversation. Just like the ones we have everyday.
