	History of the graphical user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is considerably different from the command line interface in which the user types a series of text commands to the computer.
		Doug Engelbart's Augmentation of Human Intellect project at SRI in the 1960s developed the On-Line System (NLS), which incorporated a mouse-driven cursor and multiple windows.
		X was developed at MIT as Project Athena.

	Contributions of Physics to the Information Age
		The vacuum tube-based computers built for the SAGE project, which was the brain child of physicist George E. Valley, were even larger than the ENIAC (in fact they are the largest computers in history).
		The total project cost of SAGE was around $10 billion (or $60 billion adjusted for inflation), which is more than double the inflation adjusted price of the Manhattan project that built the first atomic bomb!
		Their power consumption was enormous; if you ran a SAGE computer in your house today, your electricity bill would be around $150,000 per month.

		The Cognitive Science Department hosted the bi-annual site visit of ARDA to review the Sage World project that is funded under ARDA's Novel Intelligence from Massive Databases programs.
		The Sage World team includes Booz-Allen-Hamilton as the prime and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Planet 9 Studios as subcontractors.
		The talk was given as part of the Sage presentation, entitled: simBorgs: Engineering a resolution to the paradox of the active user.
