TIL that »The Mother of All Demos« has an <strike>elder</strike> little sister. Doug #Engelbart and team have performed a taped NLS/Augment demo on Oct 1, 1969 as well!
I put the 3 segments on my log at https://mprove.de/visionreality/index.html?q=Engelbart#log -
I finished making an Engelbart keyset! I took the design from @adafruit and tweaked it to use a Pro Micro, and put together firmware with the original keyset's binary chording system.

Les événements du 17 novembre.
En 1970, le pionnier de l’informatique Douglas #Engelbart reçoit le brevet de la première souris d’ordinateur. Il avait déposé sa demande le 21 juin 1967. Engelbart est aussi célèbre pour sa conférence « The Mother of All demos » du 9 décembre 1968, ou il présente les concepts futuristes pour l’époque de la visioconférence, le courrier électronique, et enfin le système hypertexte.

@bosak 🧵Engelbart blue numbers
How great it is to use a W3C standard link to a particular item in a report published 33 years ago in a 57 year old hypertext system using a Web interface created about 30 years ago.
While the rest of the world randomly trashes links created 5 years ago, or whenever the last juice is squeezed from an article by a once famous author writing for a once respected publisher by any of a myriad of private equity predators.

@bosak It looks like they already have that document logged.
It contains a copy of one of my favorite Doug Engelbart papers and diagrams!
I think of an Engelbart style Journal as a space to record, cite, and link dialog, external references, and knowledge products for some continuing, broadly defined purposes of an organization or individual.
CODIAK process, Doug Engelbart (1992)

Wann und von wem wurde die Computermaus erfunden?
Das war 1964 und diese wurde von Douglas C. Engelbart am Stanford Research Institute erdacht.
Er und sein Team entwickelten in den 1960er Jahren Bitmap-Bildschirme, die erste Computermaus, Hypertext, Vorläufer der grafischen Benutzeroberfläche, einschließlich Telekonferenzen mit gemeinsamem Bildschirm.
Ende 1968 präsentierte er in San Fransisco die erste Videokonferenz, die "Mutter aller Demos".

Douglas Engelbart
Born 100 Years Ago Today
30 Jan 1925“By ‘augmenting human intellect’ we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems.” — Douglas Engelbart (1962)
An essay on Engelbart’s motivation, with links to video and other historical sources on his life and work.

"Doug Engelbart sat under a twenty-two-foot-high video screen, ‘dealing lightning with both hands.’ At least that's the way it seemed to Chuck Thacker, a young Xerox PARC computer designer who was later shown a video of the demonstration that changed the course of the computer world.” — John Markoff

Ha, that’s what “dealing lightning with both hands” really looks like
-
IIRC, funding was always a problem.
he thought the future of computing was terminals to servers, not personal computers. this dried up quite a bit of interest/funding as PCs came into focus.
and, like #TedNelson, #Engelbart thought in ways that few others did. they missed much of his wisdom as he was "too early".
i think the biggest blow to his work was the lack of interest by business research labs (Xerox, ATT, IBM, etc.) as they funded mac/pc products instead.

@bosak 🧵 Doug #Engelbart
“The complexity of problems facing mankind is outpacing our ability to solve them”
— Doug EngelbartI like Doug’s Introduction to ‘Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework’. He referred to it as the ‘bible’ of his research and explanation of everything he hoped to accomplish.
Doug was like a biblical prophet too, with a soft voice, kind smile, but firm clear vision.

Engelbart's "Mother of All Demos" was presented 55 years ago today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY
It changed the way people thought about computers in the 1960s.
Before Jobs, Before Altman, there was Engelbart.
