The reason why this case is important to me is that I think the fundamental starting point of interaction design began with this demonstration. “The Mother of All Demos,” introduced by Douglas Engelbat and the SRI team in… Read more: The Demo That Changed How We Think About Technology

Why was the demo by Douglas Engelbart and the team at SRI so important? In Douglas Engelbart’s demo, many of the things he showed have become part of our world today. For example, the mouse is now widely… Read more: The Demo That Opened The World of Interaction Design

The 1968 “Mother of All Demos” by Douglas Engelbart and his team at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) was so important because it fundamentally transformed how people thought about computers and their purpose. Before this demonstration, computers were… Read more: “Mother of All Demos” 

The video gives me an interesting look at how modern computers were born. It shows bulky machines, large rooms filled with cables, and people working carefully to make everything run. Watching it makes me think about how far technology… Read more: A Clear Visualization of the Third Industrial Revolution: First Glance of Modern Computer

Douglas Engelbart’s 1968 demo at SRI is called “The Mother of All Demos” and it was pretty crazy for its time. He showed off the first computer mouse, hypertext, video conferencing, real-time text editing, and people working together… Read more: The Mother of All Demos Category: Mid-Century Innovations

The legendary 1968 demo by Douglas Engelbart and his team at SRI — often called “The Mother of All Demos.” That presentation really changed everything. Back then, people saw computers as machines that only did math — tools for scientists… Read more: The Mouse That Changed the World

The 1968 demo by Douglas Engelbart and the team at SRI was important not just because it introduced the mouse, video conferencing or hypertext. What really hit me is the way it put computers as more than just… Read more: More Than a Machine

Douglas Engelbart’s “The Mother of All Demos” in 1968 was an incredible display of early technology that gave way to much of the technology we have and use today. When I first saw the demo, it was hard… Read more: The Mother of All Demos Still Matters

How I first interpreted IXD when I just started this field was very simple. I see interaction design as software that connects technology(hardware) and the user.When I tell my relatives what I’m studying in college, they look very… Read more: Revolutionary moment in IXD history: Back to human centered

In the video, we can see the first computer demo. This is so cool. Before this, the computer is a giant thing, it’s confusing and ugly. But Douglas Engelbart made everything change. The mouse can control all elements… Read more: A major advancement in computer history

The world of Interaction Design encompasses principles from various disciplines, and as a result, many pioneers have paved the way for the field as we know it today. One individual I would argue was one of the most… Read more: Douglas Engelbart and setting the stage for Interaction Designers

The 1968 demo by Douglas Engelbart and the team at SRI was groundbreaking as it unveiled the foundations of modern computing. In just 90 minutes, the world witnessed the first computer mouse, hyperlinks, real-time editing and other related… Read more: 90 Minutes to the Future: From Mouse to Modern Computing
