The Day the Future Was Demoed 🖱️
On this day in history December 9, 1968, Douglas Engelbart gave a presentation in San Francisco now known as "The Mother of All Demos."
In a single 90 minute session, he introduced the world to the computer mouse, windows, hyperlinks, and video conferencing.
He proved that computers weren't just giant calculators for math, they were tools for human connection.
Every click, scroll, and link you use today started on that stage exactly 57 years ago.
