The Mother of All Demos
Englebart demonstrated an unbelievable amount of technology:
- Remote, collaborative text editing with his peers in Menlo Park
- Video and audio chat
- An integrated windowing system, with window resizing, etc
- A recognizable hypertext, whereby clicking on underlined text navigated to new content
Despite receiving a standing ovation from a shocked audience after his talk, it was decades before the technologies Englebart demonstrated became mainstream.
