Steve Jobs' iPhone debut is beloved, but this presentation blows it away. "The presentation was given by Douglas Engelbart of Stanford's Research Institute International at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco. During the tech demo, Engelbart showed off his team's oN-Line System (also known as the NLS) and its many capabilities [...] Most of these features simply didn't exist in 1968, and here was a guy showing them all off in a single, working system. [...] It came out of nowhere. In a world where most computers were still being programmed with punch cards, this was the lunatic fringe crashing the party about three decades early.” - Source: Reviewed.com (part of USA Today Network)
