The development of this field reaches back to the late 1960s and the visionary assertions of Ted Nelson, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, Glenn Gould, Nicholas Negroponte and others who saw a potential for digital media to ultimately redefine how we work.

She uses visual language to report on emergent knowledge and future trends, including the Future of Learning in affiliation with Institute for the Future ( since 1999 ), future workforce / workplaces through the Future of Talent ( since 2003 ), and Co-Evolution of Tools and Technology inspired by her work with inventor Doug Engelbart ( since 2002 ).

Doug Engelbart first envisioned collaborative computing in 1951 Doug Engelbart-Father of Groupware, documented his vision in 1962, with working prototypes in full operational use by his research team by the mid 1960s, and held the first public demonstration of his work in 1968 in what is now referred to as " The Mother of All Demos.

The first instance of a collaborative real-time editor was demonstrated by Douglas Engelbart in 1968, in The Mother of All Demos.

The inventor of the computer " mouse ", Douglas Engelbart, studied collaborative software ( especially revision control in computer-aided software engineering and the way a graphic user interface could enable interpersonal communication ) in the 1960s.

* Douglas Engelbart, as an internet pioneer, the inventor of the computer mouse, in human – computer interaction, committed, vocal proponent of the development and use of computers and networks to help cope with the world ’ s increasingly urgent and complex problems

" The paper paradigm was created by many individuals and organisations, such as Douglas Engelbart, Xerox PARC, and Apple Computer, and was an attempt to make computers more user-friendly by making them resemble the common workplace of the time ( with papers, folders, and a desktop ).

In December 1968 in a 90 minute session at the Fall Joint Computer Conference, Engelbart and his team presented their work in a live demonstration, including real-time video conferencing and interactive editing in an era when batch processing was still the paradigm for using computers.

Engelbart embedded a set of organizing principles in his lab, which he termed " bootstrapping strategy ".

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.

Engelbart is now Founder Emeritus of the Doug Engelbart Institute, which he founded in 1988 with his daughter Christina Engelbart, who is now Executive Director.

The classic example is Vannevar Bush's July 1945 essay " As We May Think ", which inspired Douglas Engelbart and later Ted Nelson to develop the modern workstation and hypertext technology.

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 recruited workers and ran the organization until the late 1970s when the project was commercialized and sold to Tymshare, which was eventually purchased by McDonnell Douglas.

Douglas Engelbart introduced the chorded keyset as a computer interface in 1968 at what is often called " The Mother of All Demos ".

In a famous 1968 demonstration, Engelbart introduced a computer human interface that included the QWERTY keyboard, a three button mouse computer mouse, and a five key keyset.

Douglas Carl Engelbart ( born January 30, 1925 ) is an American inventor, and an early computer and internet pioneer.

Moore may have heard Douglas Engelbart, a co-inventor of today's mechanical computer mouse, discuss the projected downscaling of integrated circuit size in a 1960 lecture.

* NLS ( computer system ) or oN-Line System, a pioneering computer system by Douglas Engelbart

With his colleagues at the Stanford Research Institute, Engelbart started to develop a computer system to augment human abilities, including learning.

The range of products offered improvements over a product originally developed at LAMI ( École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne ) by professor Jean-Daniel Nicoud and engineer André Guignard, who was involved in the design changes of the computer mouse originally invented by Douglas Engelbart.

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

His laboratory, LAMI ( LAboratoire de Micro-Informatique ), developed the Smaky computer, in addition to the optical computer mouse, an update of the traditional kinetic mouse invented by Douglas Engelbart.

Engelbart, with the help of his geographically distributed team, demonstrated the workings of the NLS (" oN Line System ") to the 1, 000 computer professionals in attendance.

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.

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.

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

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.

Doug Engelbart began experimenting with a keysets to use with the mouse in the mid 1960s.

Engelbart used the keyset with his left hand and the mouse with his right to type text and enter commands.

To type a command Engelbart pressed one of the three buttons of the mouse.

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

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.

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.

Engelbart took a position at SRI International ( SRI, known then as the Stanford Research Institute ) in Menlo Park, California in 1957.

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

At SRI, Engelbart gradually obtained over a dozen patents ( some resulting from his graduate work ), and by 1962 produced a report about his vision and proposed research agenda titled Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework.

Engelbart later revealed that it was nicknamed the " mouse " because the tail came out the end.

" Engelbart showcased the chorded keyboard and many more of his and ARC's inventions in 1968 at the so-called Mother of All Demos.

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.

Bardini points out that Engelbart was strongly influenced by the principle of linguistic relativity developed by Benjamin Lee Whorf.
