[edit] Personal Interface
In the 1960s, Douglas Engelbart, along with a small team of researchers, developed the cornerstones of personal computing as we know it: the mouse, the windowed user interface, hypertext, and networking. Bootstrapping examines the motivations behind their invention, and tells the story of Douglas Engelbart's revolutionary vision.
In a lab at the Stanford Research Institute in the 1960s, Douglas Engelbart, along with a small team of researchers, developed the cornerstones of personal computing as we know it: the mouse, the windowed user interface, hypertext, and networking. Today, all these technologies are well known, even taken for granted, but the assumptions and motivations behind their invention are not. Bootstrapping tells the story of Douglas Engelbart's revolutionary vision, reaching beyond conventional histories of Silicon Valley to probe the ideology that shaped some of the basic ingredients of contemporary life. Engelbart sought a systematic way to think and organize the coevolution of humans and their tools in an effort to discover a path on which a radical technological improvement could lead to a radical improvement in how to make people work effectively.
