Doug’s Demo Sequel: 1969

Not long after Doug Engelbart's ground-breaking Mother of All Demos in December 1968, he and his team demonstrated their research at another conference in San Francisco - the 32nd Annual Meeting of the American Society for Information Science (ASIS), in October 1969. This live demo presentation, titled "Augmentation Systems and Information Science," showcased the novel work coming out of Doug's Augmented Human Intellect Research Center (AHIRC) at Stanford Research Institute (SRI), now SRI International. Lucky for us, they filmed their 90-minute dress rehearsal in front a live audience. This footage is now available online, along with recently unearthed details and memorabilia. An important piece of history, saved.
