Doug Engelbart 1968 Demo - 1 of 9
On December 9, 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. The public presentation was a session in the of the Fall Joint Computer Conference held at the Convention Center in San Francisco, and it was attended by about 1,000 computer professionals. This was the public debut of the computer mouse. But the mouse was only one of many innovations demonstrated that day, including hypertext, object addressing and dynamic file linking, as well as shared-screen collaboration involving two persons at different sites communicating over a network with audio and video interface.

They had color TV by 1968, but was still very costly to own or operate such equipment outside TV studios and such, so B&W cameras such as here were therefor used.
Engelbart is the father of the modern day GUI. His ideas influenced thinking at Xerox PARC, and combined with Jeff Raskin's concepts of humane computing, to produce the Mac. What I regret is that Engelbart's concept of 'augmentation engineering' has received so little attention over the years. The essence of the concept is that we humans must not see computers as machines for automation, replacing human activities, but as machines for augmentation, assisting and enhancing human activities.
