In this episode, we take a look at Douglas Engelbart, the visionary who invented the computer mouse and pioneered concepts like graphical user interfaces and collaborative computing. His groundbreaking 1968 demonstration, known as “the mother of all demos,” introduced technologies that would later define modern computing, from video conferencing to hypertext.

Discover how Engelbart’s ideas aimed to augment human intelligence and solve complex problems, and how his innovations laid the foundation for the computers we use today. Though his contributions went largely unrecognised during his lifetime, his legacy lives on in every click we make.
