Douglas Engelbart - 1968
We've been watching a demo of the early days of text editing and linking by Douglas Engelbart. Amazing that's the demo was recorded in 1968 and breathes a modern voice. Using headsets we still use nowadays, switching live via video conferencing, using multiple screens, showing what the system does and how it works. Man, he already invented the mouse . I remember the first home computer my father bought (Atari 800 XL) somewhere in 1985-ish. A PC with mouse came in the early nineties (and we were early adopters in our neighborhood). Amazing to see. Even more amazing is the fact that we've had live contact with Engelbart before and after watching the demo. Gosh, this is recorded 10 years before I even was born. Why did it take so long to become mainstream?
