Box 2 561.7 1968 Presentation Highlights Physical Description: 1 videotape(s) (Betacam-SP) Scope and Content Note Highlighs from December 9, 1968 presentation during which Doug Engelbart and a small team of researchers from the Stanford Research Institute stunned the computing world with an extraordinary demonstration at a San Francisco computer conference. They debuted: the computer mouse, graphical user interface, display editing and integrated text and graphics, hyper-documents, and two-way video-conferencing with shared workspaces. These concepts and technologies were to become the cornerstones of modern interactive computing. That landmark 1968 demonstration took place at the American Federation of Information Processing Societies' Fall Joint Computer Conference. At a time when computers were little more than huge number-crunchers, Engelbart and his team's introduction of their two-way interactive system, called NLS (for oN Line System) was a shock. Today the mouse, graphical user interface, hyper-documents, display editing and integrated text and graphics are taken for granted. Other features of NLS, such two-way video-conferencing with shared workspaces, remain more vision than reality even today. And some of NLS' most important elements, such as the concept of bootstrapping, remain so novel that they are all but unknown to the current generation of systems designers. NLS' 1968 demo was a watershed that fundamentally changed the trajectory of the computing revolution, contributing not only ideas, but also many of the people who would later build the systems we would use today. Alumni of the NLS project (and its successor, the Augment project) include many of the most influential figures in Silicon Valley (and elsewhere). Others credit Doug's work in general, and the 1968 demo in particular with influencing their design philosophies. As personal computing pioneer and visionary Alan Kay once observed, "I don't know what Silicon Valley will do when it runs out of Doug's ideas."

Accession ARCH-2011-080 "Boosting Collective IQ" videorecordings and slides 2008 Aug 4-22 Scope and Content Note In August 2008 the Doug Engelbart Institute sponsored an extended three way discussion between leading experts Doug Engelbart, Jeff Rulifson, and Christina Engelbart, drilling down into the depths of Doug's vision using the Bootstrap "Paradigm Map" interactive slide presentation. This informal discussion, spanning four days, was filmed in a TV studio at Stanford University. The Bootstrap "Paradigm Map" is Doug Engelbart's interactive visual portrayal of his call to action, depicting his vision and strategy for dramatically raising our Collective IQ toward more effective organizations and a better world.
