	Inventing Modern America: Vision - Doug Engelbart
		Engelbart sat at a computer console and spoke into an ear-mounted headset while his face was video-projected onto a screen behind him.
		Engelbart was moving it with a peculiar device under his right hand, a chunky, square box with a few buttons, tethered to the machine with a cord.
		Born in Oregon in 1925, Engelbart was the grandson of Western pioneers and the son of a radio store owner and a mother who, he remembers, was "quite sensitive, and artistic." His father passed away when he was only nine, and the family's finances were tight.

	Encyclopedia: Doug Engelbart
		Engelbart received a Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University in 1948, a Bachelor of Engineering degree from UC Berkeley in 1952, and a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in 1955.
		Historian of science Thierry Bardini has persuasively argued that Engelbart's complex personal philosophy (which drove all his research endeavors) foreshadowed the modern application of the concept of coevolution to the philosophy and use of technology.
		SRI's management, which disapproved of Engelbart's approach to running the center, placed the remains of ARC under the control of artificial intelligence researcher Bert Raphael, who fired Engelbart (from the lab that Engelbart had founded) in 1976.

		Doug Engelbart's voice, as he greets you, is low and soft, as though muted from having traveled a long distance, as though his words have been attenuated by layers of meditation.
		Doug was alone on the stage, the screen looming above and behind him as he sat in front of his CRT display, wearing the kind of earphone-microphone headsets that radar operators and jet pilots use, his hands resting on an unusual-looking control console connected to his chair.
		Doug had always warned that "the larger augmentation system is much more complex than the technological 'subsystem' upon which it depends," and the 1970s were the era when ARC began to practice what Engelbart had preached.

		For example, the list of things which Engelbart had to do later was organized as a graphical map of the locations where he would have to go, connected by the route he would take.
		Engelbart's research team developed the mouse to navigate and manipulate the system, and a one-handed chording keyboard so the user could still perform commands and type input while using the mouse (a luxury that we still don't have today).

		Engelbart's aim is to give help in manipulating any of the concepts that the individual usefully symbolizes in his work, of which mathematical concepts constitute only a limited portion in most real-life instances.
		Engelbart elaborates on the methodology behind "bootstrapping" and discusses a functional model of a trained human, with his Language, Artifacts and Methodology, as the problem-solving system whose effectiveness the program is aimed to improve.
		Doug Engelbart's patent, filed June 21, 1967, disclosed an X-Y position indicator control for movement by the hand over any surface to move a cursor over the display on a cathode ray tube, the indicator control generating signals indicating its position to cause a cursor to be displayed on the tube at the corresponding position.

		Doug's vision spans a great spectrum of what we need for the human mind and work: individual work, empowering workgroups, making human intellect more deeply powerful.
		Doug foresaw that problem in the nineteen-sixties, and built a little keyboard on which he can type with one hand while he uses the mouse with the other.

	Sep00: A Conversation With Doug Engelbart
		Today, Engelbart is developing an open-source version of the next generation of his system for collaborative knowledge work, dubbed the "Open Hyperdocument System." His initial goal for the OHS is to help programmers collaboratively develop software, a problem that DDJ readers will agree is as complex as it gets.
		Engelbart is currently director of the Bootstrap Institute (http://www.bootstrap.org/), which he founded in 1988 to help organizations learn how to improve their ability to solve complex problems using tools such as interactive computing.
		Engelbart recently spoke with Eugene Eric Kim about his life's work and ways in which we can augment the collective human intellect.

		Engelbart saw his many ideas and inventions as technical ends to a goal that also required progress in media, language, customs, knowledge, skills, and procedures.
		Back in the 1950s, Engelbart realized that the rate of change in the world was increasing radically, and the complexity and urgency of the world's problems were increasing along the same lines.
		Engelbart's lab was the second site on the ARPANET, and he was thrilled with the idea of using networked computers to foster cooperation and collaboration.

		While Engelbart was, in fact, suggesting that computers could be used to automate a low-level task like typewriting, the point he wanted to make had to do with changes n the overall system--the capabilities such an artifact would open up for thinking in a more effective, wider-ranging, more articulate, quicker, better-formatted manner.
		Doug's painstakingly thought-out conceptual framework, the prototype hardware, systems he and Bill English developed, and his bootstrapping laboratory of systems programmers, computer engineers, psychologists, and media specialists were only corroborating what Doug had known for years--computers can help intellectual workers think better.
