Augmenting Human Intellect Douglas Engelbart
• In the early 1950s, Douglas Engelbart was struck with the notion of using computers as thinking tools to augment the mind, ideas influenced by Vannevar Bush.
• After six years of work at the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at the SRI, he created the world's first interactive information system, NLS (oN Line System).

NLS (oN Line System) Douglas Engelbart, 1968
• Demo at the FJCC (Fall Joint Computer Conference) in San Francisco on Dec. 8, 1968
• The first knowledge machine that paved the way for the interactive personal computer as well as groupware. – word processing, outline processing, split
windows, hypermedia, mouse, one-hand KBD, shared documents, e-mail, filtering, desktop conferencing

Program for the Future Global Design Challenge http://thetechvirtual.org/projects/program-for-the-future/ the Tech Museum of Innovation in collaboration with the MIT Museum
Your Challenge: Develop a practical method, tool or technology that connects
people so that they collectively act more intelligently. We are looking for new ideas – even simple ideas – that help people work better and smarter together in some important area.
The challenge embraces all areas of human endeavor – not just technical domains like computing or engineering but also the arts, business, economics, education, government, health, law, philanthropy, science and other spheres. Winning entries will be displayed in the participating museums.

Background: The Program for the Future Global Design Challenge is inspired by
the vision of Douglas C. Engelbart, who fifty years ago saw that the big problems mankind faced were growing faster than our ability to solve them. In response, Dr. Engelbart began his life-long quest to improve our collective intelligence. It is in that spirit that the Tech Museum of Innovation and the MIT Museum are sponsoring a design challenge to inspire innovators around the world to build the next generation of tools to augment our ability to think and work collectively.The Program for the Future Design Challenge is organized by the Tech Museum of Innovation in collaboration with the MIT Museum, under the supervision of a distinguished Board of Advisors
