Douglas Engelbart recently filed two new patents for mobile chorded keyset devices and TipTap. mobi has released a chorded app for the iPhone with Douglas Engelbart.

Engelbart has four children, Gerda, Diana, Christina and Norman with his first wife Ballard, who died in 1997 after 47 years of marriage.

In December of that year, Engelbart demonstrated a ' hypertext ' ( meaning editing ) interface to the public for the first time, in what has come to be known as " The Mother of All Demos ".

Thierry Bardini has authored many papers and books on innovation, sociology of technology, and hypermedia: he is the author of Bridging the Gulfs: From Hypertext to Cyberspace, where he described the history of hypertext through the visions of two early pioneers in the field: Douglas Engelbart and Ted Nelson.

Engelbart served on the board of directors of Erhard Seminars Training ( EST ).

Since Engelbart introduced the keyset, several different designs have been developed based on similar concepts.

Engelbart was born in Portland, Oregon on January 30, 1925 to Carl Louis Engelbart and Gladys Charlotte Amelia Munson Engelbart.

After completing his PhD, Engelbart stayed on at Berkeley as an assistant professor to teach for a year, and left when it was clear he could not pursue his vision there.

Engelbart then formed a startup, Digital Techniques, to commercialize some of his doctorate research on storage devices, but after a year decided instead to pursue the research he had been dreaming of since 1951.

He initially worked for Hewitt Crane on magnetic devices and miniaturization of electronics ; Engelbart and Crane became lifelong friends.

Although the NIC at first used NLS, it was intended to be a production service to other network users, while Engelbart continued to focus on innovative research.

Robert X. Cringely did an hour long interview with Engelbart on December 9, 2005 in his NerdTV video podcast series.

Other books on Engelbart and his laboratory include Bootstrapping: Douglas Engelbart, Coevolution, and the Origins of Personal Computing by Thierry Bardini and The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart, by Valerie Landau and Eileen Clegg in conversation with Douglas Engelbart.

All four of these books are based on interviews with Engelbart as well as other contributors in his laboratory.

He remarried on January 26, 2008 to writer and producer Karen O ' Leary Engelbart.

Douglas Engelbart independently began working on his NLS system in 1962 at Stanford Research Institute, although delays in obtaining funding, personnel, and equipment meant that its key features were not completed until 1968.

* The mouse was not invented at PARC, but by Douglas Engelbart in 1963, Apple's mouse was an improvement on PARC's version.

Ed Engelbart was named Township Historian, following a resolution passed on May 10, 2011, making him the first person to be named to this position in a decade.

Furthermore, although hypertext researchers have generally been concerned with information overload, certain researchers, notably Douglas Engelbart, have been focused on decision makers in particular.

* Doug Engelbart Institute website-extensive information and resources on Doug and his work.

Teaming with his daughter, Christina Engelbart, in 1988 he founded the Bootstrap Institute to coalesce his ideas into a series of three-day and half-day management seminars offered at Stanford University 1989 – 2000.

In early 2000 Engelbart produced, with volunteers and sponsors, what was called The Unfinished Revolution – II, also known as the Engelbart Colloquium at Stanford University, to document and publicize his work and ideas to a larger audience ( live, and online ).

* Engelbart and English, " A Research Center for Augmenting Human Intellect ", AFIPS Conf.

Engelbart recruited a research team in his new Augmentation Research Center ( ARC, the lab he founded at SRI ), and became the driving force behind the design and development of the oN-Line System ( NLS ).

The Augmentation Research Center ( ARC ) at Stanford Research Institute, directed by Douglas Engelbart, was another of the four first ARPANET nodes and the source of early RFCs.

* Augmentation Research Center, a center founded by electrical engineer Douglas Engelbart

Sketchpad inspired Douglas Engelbart to design and develop oN-Line System at the Augmentation Research Center ( ARC ) at the Stanford Research Institute ( SRI ) during the 1960s.

At the Fall 1968 Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, Engelbart, Bill English, Jeff Rulifson and the rest of the Human Augmentation Research Center team at SRI showed on a big screen how he could manipulate a computer remotely located in Menlo Park, while sitting on a San Francisco stage, using his mouse.

SRI International's Augmentation Research Center ( ARC ) was founded in the 1960s by electrical engineer Douglas Engelbart to develop and experiment with new tools and techniques for collaboration and information processing.

In 2000, he published Bootstrapping: Douglas Engelbart, Coevolution, and the Origins of Personal Computing, a book about Douglas Engelbart's career and the rise and fall of the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute

William ' Bill ' K. English is a computer engineer who contributed to the development of the computer mouse while working for Douglas Engelbart at SRI International's Augmentation Research Center.

Designed by Douglas Engelbart and implemented by researchers at the Augmentation Research Center ( ARC ) at the Stanford Research Institute ( SRI ), the NLS system was the first to employ the practical use of hypertext links, the mouse, raster-scan video monitors, information organized by relevance, screen windowing, presentation programs, and other modern computing concepts.

The term was also championed by Doug Engelbart to refer to his belief that organizations could better evolve by improving the process they use for improvement ( thus obtaining a compounding effect over time ).

In 1945, Engelbart had read with interest Vannevar Bush's article " As We May Think ", a call to action for making knowledge widely available as a national peacetime grand challenge.

Engelbart applied for a patent in 1967 and received it in 1970, for the wooden shell with two metal wheels ( computer mouse-), which he had developed with Bill English, his lead engineer, a few years earlier.

To mark the 30th anniversary of Engelbart's 1968 demo, in 1998 the Stanford Silicon Valley Archives and the Institute for the Future hosted Engelbart's Unfinished Revolution, a symposium at Stanford University's Memorial Auditorium, to honor Engelbart and his ideas.

In June 2009, the New Media Consortium recognized Engelbart as an NMC Fellow for his lifetime of achievements.

Engelbart attended Program for the Future 2010 Conference where hundreds of people convened at The Tech Museum in San Jose and online to engage in dialog about how to pursue his vision to augment collective intelligence.

Meanwhile, working independently, a team led by Douglas Engelbart ( with Jeff Rulifson as chief programmer ) was the first to implement the hyperlink concept for scrolling within a single document ( 1966 ), and soon after for connecting between paragraphs within separate documents ( 1968 ), with NLS.

ARPA funding during the late 1970s was subject to the military application requirements of the Mansfield Amendment introduced by Mike Mansfield ( which had severely limited funding for hypertext researchers like Douglas Engelbart ).

Engelbart used a control console designed by Jack Kelley of Herman Miller that included a keyboard and an inset portion used as a support area for the mouse.

# Carry forward the vision of Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart, and Ted Nelson of the computer as a medium for communication, collaboration, and coordination.

Yuri Rubinsky, in cooperation with the International WWW Conference Committee, presented the SoftQuad Award for Excellence to Doug Engelbart at the Fourth International WWW Conference in Boston in December, 1995.
