Today I was reminded
that it was 36 years ago today that Doug Engelbart gave his classic 1968 demo in
Menlo Park[1]. We watched the film of the demo at a US federal meeting focused
on semantic interoperability, and then had the pleasure of listening to Doug
Engelbart speak to us via phone about that day and where things lead afterwards
(many of us will recall a plenary on this at XML 2003). When we reminded him of
the anniversary, he had actually not realized it.
While I was too
young that day to be aware of/understand the significance of that event (I was a
wee but mischievous 20-month
old), I have come to realize its incredible significance in the grand
scheme.
