RIP Douglas Engelbart

I was just reading Robert Scoble’s G+ profile and saw that Douglas Englebart passed away yesterday on July 2nd. He was 88.

He is responsible for bringing forward much of what we know about modern computing such as the mouse, Hypertext, networked computers, and graphical interfaces! Here he is with the “Mother of all Demos” where he is demonstrating the mouse and cut and paste, etc. way back in 1968.

Thank you Douglas for changing the world.
