Douglas Engelbart worked on a project to augment the human intellect, as part of the Augment project he demonstrated Hypertext and video conferencing.
Douglas Engelbart is one of the most influential thinkers in the history of personal computing. He is best known as the groundbreaking engineer who invented the mouse, windows, e-mail, and the word processor. Engelbart led one of the most important projects funded by ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) in the 1960s: a networked environment designed to support collaborative interaction between people using computers. It was named the NLS (oNLine System). This prototype, developed at the Stanford Research Institute, and presented in 1968 at the Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco, influenced the development of the first personal computer and the graphical user interface at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s.
Engelbart reasoned that networked computing would make individuals more intellectually effective and enable a collaborative method of sharing knowledge. The linking of people and computers using this approach to interactivity would result in the use of computers to "solve the world's problems" by augmenting the capacities of the mind's intellectual faculties.
