On December 9, 1968, Doug Engelbart's inquiries into "Augmented Human
Intellect" was a vision which was revealed to the computer world. On that
day Doug Engelbart and a small team of researchers from the Stanford
Research Institute stunned the computing world with an extraordinary
demonstration at a San Francisco computer conference. They debuted: the
computer mouse, graphical user interface, display editing and integrated
text and graphics, hyper-documents, and two-way video-conferencing with
shared workspaces. These concepts and technologies were to become the
cornerstones of modern interactive computing
On December 9th, 1998 Stanford University Libraries
(http://unrev.stanford.edu/hosts/sva/sva.html) and the Institute for the
Future (http://unrev.stanford.edu/hosts/iftf/iftf.html) presented a
day-long, public symposium (http://unrev.stanford.edu/index.html) that
brought together Engelbart and members of his historic team, along with
other computer visionaries, to consider the impact of Engelbart's work on
the last three decades of the computer revolution, to explore the challenges
facing us today, and to speculate about the next three decades.
