Super-super genius Engelbart.

Can you imagine how well Engelbart smart is? He is a real genius, i think. In the 1960s there was nothing, i mean no mouse, no moniter, there was just standard computer i/o such as hollerith cards and paper printouts. But, he imagined some concepts like
•the mouse
•2d display editing
•hypermedia & hypermedia email
•outline processing •multiple window displays


and he even made a demo given to 1000 at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco with computers and support staff. Here some pictures of what he Invented.




I am still wondering how he could've thought those things, even thought he used Bush's premise. It became the orgin of the personal computer, and made a great effect in the computer technology.
A topic for his speech in the demo, he needed to find some supporter. so you could find his speech speculative and reporting style. when i saw it, i wished to have the same one like his.


Good. i'd like to talk about hypertext a little bit more. What do you think about hyper, and then
hypertext? Hyper means actually, as we know, form adjectves that describe something a little above the surface. then, Hypertext means, should be something on the letters of moniter? i hope we all agree that hypertext is a way of connecting pieces of text so that you can go quickly and directly from one to another. Dr.Yoon also said that one way that digital media has been understood as a new forms of writting, reading and thinking.

This lecture was a little hard for me to all understand that, because some ideas of this lecture was difficult and the class was a little speedy. but i like this class. Always fun.
thank you.^^
