@ole@chaos.social bold claim. Engelbart's NLS demo was in 1968, but the research he and his Augment group worked on prior to a public demonstration goes back much further (Engelbart started at SRI in the 1950s). Moreover, Engelbart was a personal friend of mine. He did not even like being associated as the "inventor of the mouse" because, he wasn't. Bill English (whom I also knew personally) merits that accolade. SRI's first mouse prototype was in 1964: https://www.sri.com/hoi/computer-mouse-and-interactive-computing/#:~:text=Development%20of%20the%20mouse%20began,computer%20mouse%20prototype%20in%201964.
