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.

    That headset he's wearing is surprisingly compact, too.

    The take for granted new technology is always old in a way, but it was created in labratorys, at prices that were of the carts. Think about it, Howlong have they been working on oled screens? But they still are only in lab fase

    High def video is old too. Sony had a high definition TV system it debuted back in '78.

    CIA/NSA/DARPA happened. The government, especially back then, always classified new tech.

    This reminds me of the Outer Limits original series (which was running at about this time). It's like some guy went to the future and came back to 1968 to describe future computer tech.
