Udell and Engelbart

Referred to in Jon Udell's article "Can the Noosphere Save Us?," he refers to Doug Engelbart (one of my personal heroes) and Doug's idea of "augmented human intellect" (Seriously, read this article.  Like now.).  If you want to see a glimpse of what Doug saw as augmented human intellect, watch this series of interviews dating to 1968 entitled "The Mother of All Demos."  He invented the mouse, y'all.  Watch the video.
