SPECIAL NOTE: 40th Anniversary Events Honoring Douglas Engelbart
On December 9, 1968, Douglas Engelbart demonstrated several key components of the
modern computer, including the mouse and hypertext linking.
Two events, on December 8 and December 9, 2008, mark the fortieth anniversary of this historic
demonstration. A Program for the Future
conference features Steve Wozniak (Apple founder), Tom Malone (MIT, Future of Work),
Hiroshi Ishii (MIT Media Lab), and computing pioneers Alan Kay and Andy Van Dam.
SRI International is sponsoring a
commemorative event
featuring participants in the original demonstration.
Engelbart's papers, along with those of other pioneering Silicon Valley technologists,
are held in the Silicon Valley Archives.
