	DOUGLAS CARL ENGELBART
		Engelbart proposed to design a new computer-based system that brought together a trained human being with his or her artifacts, language, and methods.
		Engelbart and his team served as both the developers of the technologies and the subjects for the analysis of his augmentation computer system.
		Engelbart’s mouse was a little box with hidden wheels underneath and a cable to the terminal to signal the computer and move the cursor around on the screen.

		Because Engelbart's published framework of 1963 and the pursuits proposed therein were so much on line with his, Licklider began steering funds to him despite voiced misgivings of some of his colleagues -- something that came into the open some years later from unguarded chatter by some of them at a cocktail party.
		Engelbart's focus continues to be on creating high-performance organizations by fostering bootstrapping communities, researching and developing the enabling technologies, best practices, and special strategies for developing and deploying these capabilities on a continuous improvement basis, with pro-active participation from stakeholders in government, industry, and society.
		Engelbart's office is located at the operational headquarters of Logitech, the world's largest supplier of computer mice, where he is assisted by Mary Coppernoll, his co-worker for 15 years, as well as by Bootstrap Institute volunteers.

	fUSION Anomaly. Douglas Engelbart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Doug Engelbart started thinking about building a thought-amplifying device back when Harry Truman was President, and he has spent the last thirty years stubbornly pursuing his original vision of building a system for augmenting human intellect.

	(eic-3) Douglas Engelbart's prescription for amplifying communal intelligence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Engelbart's approach is to discard the old mold entirely and instead develop a strategy toward a project-oriented knowledge management system of information flow, manipulation, storage and utilization that may be perceived as extending the nervous systems of the individuals working together.
		During his time in industry, Engelbart was struck by how information about a project was often spread across distinct islands in a hierarchy of suppliers with each one playing its part close to the vest and in its own way.
		Our overview of Engelbart's advocacy of an open hyperdocument system, the code for which he wishes to be open-source, first focuses on organizations in a societal setting; then on the meshing of skills, wits and tools to achieve communal objectives and how this can be improved upon.

		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.
		Key to Engelbart's fluid computer-human interaction was that the interface was intimately linked with the work environment and appropriate user-interface devices were used.
		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 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.
		Several of Engelbart's best researchers became alienated from him and left his organization for Xerox PARC, in part due to frustration, and in part due to differing views of the future of computing, where Engelbart saw the future in timeshare (client/server) computing, which younger programmers rejected in favor of the personal computer.
		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.
