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

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.

Where Whorf reasoned that the sophistication of a language controls the sophistication of the thoughts that can be expressed by a speaker of that language, Engelbart reasoned that the state of our current technology controls our ability to manipulate information, and that fact in turn will control our ability to develop new, improved technologies.

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.

The Alto was conceived in 1972 in a memo written by Butler Lampson, inspired by the On-Line System ( NLS ) developed by Douglas Engelbart at SRI, and was designed primarily by Chuck Thacker.

Engelbart had volunteered ARC to provide the first reference library service on the ARPANET while it was being designed.

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 ).

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.

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

The most complete coverage of Engelbart's bootstrapping ideas can be found in Boosting Our Collective IQ, by Douglas C. Engelbart, 1995.

This includes three of Engelbart's key papers, edited into book form by Yuri Rubinsky and Christina Engelbart to commemorate the presentation of the 1995 SoftQuad Web Award to Doug Engelbart at the World Wide Web conference in Boston in December 1995.

Only 2, 000 softcover copies were printed, and 100 hardcover, numbered and signed by Engelbart and Tim Berners-Lee.

Engelbart's book is now being republished by the Doug Engelbart Institute.

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.

A precursor to GUIs was invented by researchers at the Stanford Research Institute, led by Douglas Engelbart.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Engelbart has served on the Advisory Boards of the University of Santa Clara Center for Science, Technology, and Society, Foresight Institute, Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, The Technology Center of Silicon Valley, and The Hyperwords Company ( producer of the Firefox add-on Hyperwords.

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 ".

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 ).

# 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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

During a 1968 presentation by Douglas Engelbart marking the public debut of a mouse,

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.

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.

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.
