The multimedia linearity can be understood as the fact that the user only receives the information that is transmitted by the computer, and can not change it or decide how the action takes place.
Linear media are very objective, giving the user only what he needs. This way the user receives the desired information quickly.
Linearity can become much more monotonous for the user than non-linearity. It may also be more difficult for the user to learn to use linearity because not having interaction with the machine is not so easy to learn, being limited to watching.
