Douglas Engelbart : The Mother of All Demos (1/9)

New Book "The Engelbart Hypothesis: Dialogs with Douglas Engelbart" by Valerie Landau & Eileen Clegg in conversation with Douglas Engelbart describes how Engelbart's vision drove his innovation process. "The Engelbart Hypothesis" clearly articulates his message for the first time in 50 years shedding light on the secrets long ignored.

Voilà pourquoi YouTube dois existé! Pour faire partager ce genre de vidéo.

I just read "What the Dormouse Said" and had to see this. Having grown up with the internet, it's hard to even imagine how magical & revolutionary this demo must have seemed at the time. Now I've gotta get my hands on a USB chordboard or whatever he named that mini keyboard.

We already have these 'mini keyboards':
Nostromo n52 by Belkin, for example.
They're programmable 'gamepads' so that each key may stand for any keyboard strike--or even a series of them (micros).
I use pretty much the same layout as you see in the video--fortunately, much updated--and it is way productive in everything from Photoshop to browsing the internet.
Just add a digital tablet for drawing with a pressure stylus...mounted on an adjustable swing-arm monitor mount and you're all set.

Unfortunately, people that saw this at the time thought "Ya Right!"

What is amazing is this is just 22 years after the 1st digital computer.

Thanks so much for uploading this. It is history.

HOLY SHIT
THIS IS THE BEST UTUBE VIDEO
