Part 1 of 3 of Douglas Engelbart's 1969 demonstration of his NLS system at the ASIS conference. It is a follow-up to the 1968 Mother of All Demos, showing the mouse, screen editing and linked information at a more relaxed pace.
HN treats it as the better-paced companion to the Mother of All Demos, and quotes Engelbart's own explanation of the mouse and screen pointer.
“So I can sit here and move this and point quite accurately and I never look down on my hand.”
