  • The first popular microcomputers appeared in the 70s and they were incapable of playing or recording sound and video, and they had very limited graphics capabilities. 
  • The videodisc player appeared in the 80s, offering the possibility of playing back high-quality sound and video and presenting thousands of photographic-quality pictures. 
  • By linking a videodisc player to a computer it was possible to produce CALL programs that today would be described as multimedia.
