Window to the World, calling for Wind of Wisdom, as common sense is a gift to each soul, as common environment is the inseparable planet, as common desire is to live in a better world.
William English and Douglas Engelbart, co-creators of the computer mouse
Engelbart was involved in the development of the ARPANET – the precursor to the modern internet—and showed off hypertext long before most people had interacted with a computer, let alone touched a networked computer. On December 9, 1968 Douglas Engelbart’s “Mother of All Demos” from Menlo Park, California showcased what was considered incredibly futuristic technology for the time, including his mouse.
Engelbart was rejected by Stanford for a teaching position because his research seemed too removed from practical applications. He then joined University of California, Berkeley.
