On December 9, 1968, Doug Engelbart and the group of 17 researchers working with him in the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS, they had been working on since 1962. Given the relatively primitive state of computer technology in the 1960s, the demo, which can be viewed in chunks in these video clips, is amazing. Visionary stuff.
