40th anniversary of computer mouse and hypertext

I've just heard that this day in 1968 was the first public debut of the computer mouse, hypertext, object addressing, dynamic file linking, and shared collaboration technologies by Douglas Engelbart from his famous SRI demo (otherwise known as "Mother of all Demos"). These technologies have changed the world forever and started the computer industry and computer research today as we know it. Thank you Doug and you can see the original demo post and videos here.
