Like many futurists frustrated by the tyranny of tinny audio over phone lines as their primary means of real-time communication, Arthur C. Clarke envisioned video calls being commonplace in the future.
Mission to Mars was the first educational CD-ROM. It was designed in Hypercard on a Macintosh SE, in black and white, to run on 9 inch Macintosh screens. The CD included 161 screens with rich graphical interfaces. More than 100 different sound effects were used as audio feedback in response to mouse clicks. At the time it seemed radical to feature an American flag and then Soviet Union Flag flying together to Mars in the opening animation. An audio quote by Arthur C. Clarke declared "Mars, not the moon, will be the next frontier for manned space exploration."
