'The Mother of All Demos' Is 45 Years Old, Doesn't Look a Day Over 25

Thanks to Engelbart and his team we have the Graphic User Interface (GUI) and mouse. The Graph User Interface and mouse were key ingredients in the success of computer distribution in the 80's. By having a Graph User Interface and a mouse was more user friendly, way easier than turning on or off switches. This meant life easier, and since it was easy to use more people will be involve in computers. Sadly, Engelbart's and his team's idea were ahead of his time. Computers were still mostly use for military, and the idea for their use in business and civil use were days ahead.
I cannot imagine a life without a Graphic User Interface or the mouse. If computers were still make with switchers we will probably still years behind. Since the Graphic User Interface allowed many people interact. As more people interact with the computer, this allows more development. We will still use the library as the main source to do research.
