Encarta was a digital encyclopedia created by Microsoft and first released in 1993. It was originally available on CD-ROM and was later made available online. Encarta was known for its multimedia content, including images, videos, and animations, as well as its user-friendly interface and interactive features.
The encyclopedia covered a wide range of topics, including history, science, geography, and the arts. It was available in several languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Japanese. Encarta also included a variety of learning tools, such as quizzes and games, as well as a research organizer to help users keep track of their work.
Encarta was a popular and influential product in the early days of digital encyclopedias, but it eventually faced competition from other online resources, such as Wikipedia. Microsoft discontinued Encarta in 2009, but it remains a nostalgic favorite for many who grew up using it.
