This one extraordinary man. Nothing I can say here will every be enough to describe his and his teams contributions to the modern world. The Mother of All Demo's will always, and should always be the "opus" of our current world. Thank you Doug, thank you.

Like a pen or pencil. Simple, but what would society have been without them?

New Book "The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart" describes how Engelbart's underlying vision drove his innovation process.

I love my grandfather :) :) :) :)

and it's true, he's invented quite a bit of things. my favorite is the binary keyboard....it's really cool.

He's responsible for so much more than inventing the mouse. It's a shame that's all he's known for.

God Bless Douglas Engelbart. I'm so glad he is still alive and in good health.

I love this man! Use a mouse Every day ... probably until they become replaced by a mental controller like the OCZ Nia.

[Zoiros85]

[edwsshaw1]

Very intelligent man. Hope he writes a book.

[vetrirotti]

[ZombieShawn]

[pandaman0529]

It's amazing how he can explain so deeply such a simple device like a mouse. When you think about it, he is right, and we take this higher form of human-machine interaction for granted every day.

[Peacenik]
