Important thoughts by #DouglasEngelbart on symbols and their role in human life. I was not part of your discussion, but I found it illuminating. Thank you for sharing.
I realise that Engelbart refers to all sorts of symbols, not soecifically art, but reading his reflections urged me to look up #PrehistoricArt here on the Fedi.
Here is one post (with image) from an evocative thread by @wittgensteinmonster:

OTD #DouglasEngelbart gave “the mother of all demos” at the Fall *1968* ACM/#IEEEconference in #SanFrancisco. 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos
The 90 minute presentation introduced the essential elements - both software and hardware - of #PersonalComputing 🖥️ still in use today!

Happy “Mother of all Demos” day!

#DouglasEngelbart would be proud of me.
My computer has both a modern "Mouse Cursor," and a 1968-era "Bug" cursor... although a bit more organic than his.
