Wow, while I've seen a few of his demos in the past I hadn't taken the time to read: http://www.dougengelbart.org/pubs/augment-3906.html
Very good for a Sunday.... I am blown away by how forward thinking they are and I would argue foresaw developments in Applied Complexity with projected augmented reality with interactive ABM way back from 1962. Nice quotes about Engelbart are here: https://collectiveiq.wordpress.com/2013/07/06/the-human-side-of-doug-engelbart/ When you think of Engelbart and the credit for building of the mouse, I like Bret Victor's point: *“It’s as if they found the person who invented writing, and credited them for inventing the pencil,” says Bret Victor re: tech writer interviews of Engelbart. “The least important question you can ask about Engelbart is, “What did he build?” […] The most important question you can ask about Engelbart is, “What world was he trying to create?””* —Bret Victor [source <http://worrydream.com/Engelbart/>] _______________________________________________________________________ stephen.gue...@simtable.com <stephen.gue...@simtable.com> CEO, Simtable http://www.simtable.com 1600 Lena St #D1, Santa Fe, NM 87505 office: (505)995-0206 mobile: (505)577-5828 twitter: @simtable On Sun, Jul 24, 2016 at 3:17 PM, Stephen Guerin <stephen.gue...@simtable.com > wrote: > I also like Engelbart's measure of Collective IQ from the article : > > He developed ways of analyzing how people acted inside an organization and > specific techniques that he claimed would boost “collective IQ.” A set of > detailed presentations on those methodologies started with what he called > CODIAK. “Collective IQ is a measure of how effectively a collection of > people can *concurrently develop, integrate, and apply its knowledge* toward > its mission,” (emphasis Engelbart’s). > > > On Sun, Jul 24, 2016 at 11:46 AM, Owen Densmore <o...@backspaces.net> > wrote: > >> Great summary and certainly gives us pause to think about the Human >> rather than Tech. >> >> He really was like that and used Augmentation in nearly every talk he >> gave, and given his stature in Silly Valley, that's a lot! >> >> On Sat, Jul 23, 2016 at 9:25 PM, Tom Johnson <t...@jtjohnson.com> wrote: >> >>> >>> https://www.technologyreview.com/s/517341/douglas-engelbarts-unfinished-revolution/ >>> >>> =================================== >>> Tom Johnson - Inst. for Analytic Journalism >>> Santa Fe, NM >>> SPJ Region 9 Director >>> t...@jtjohnson.com 505-473-9646 >>> =================================== >>> >> >> >> ============================================================ >> FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv >> Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College >> to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com >> > >
