The Mother Of All Demos
April 30, 2018
I was talking to a friend last week about demos. She mentioned the Steve Jobs iPhone demo from 2007 and I referred to Doug Engelbartâs Mother of All Demos from 1968. She hadnât heard of it, or him, which wasnât that surprising since she was born at least 15 years after Englebartâs canonical demo.
While it doesnât ever surprise me that someone hasnât heard of â or seen â Engelbartâs demo, itâs an important part of computer history.
While itâs long (over 90 minutes), itâs worth watching from beginning to end. Fire up Youtube on the big screen, grab some popcorn, and settle in.
