50th Anniversary of The Mother of All Demos (amasad.me)
I was asked to give a toast in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Mother of All Demos so I spent some time reflecting on Engelbart’s work.- Firsts: The Demo - Doug Engelbart (dougengelbart.org)
Welcome to theDemo.org – our main portal into Doug’s great demo of 1968 where you will find stories, archive footage and photos, and links to other fabulous resources at Stanford Libraries Special Collections, SRI International, Computer History Museum and more. Experience the demo, and watch retrospectives by Doug and his team recounting their experience.
