Talk about ahead of his time! Here is a
website with the complete audio/video presentation of Doug Engelbart from 1968!! 40 years ago, and he's demonstrating using a mouse, cut & paste, and hypertext. Wow! 40 years ago the standard means of interacting with a computer was a punch card deck and a line printer. This is amazing!
