Ted Nelson and Doug Engelbart come to dinner

3K views · 13 years ago · interview · historical

Howard Rheingold films an informal dinner conversation with computing visionaries Ted Nelson, who coined hypertext, and Doug Engelbart, who led the Mother of All Demos. The two talk casually about their ideas and careers.

HN treats it as a rare, warm glimpse of two pioneers just talking, and recommends it to anyone interested in Nelson and Engelbart.

“I really love this very much. These are two of my favorite bookmarks.”

While I'm at it, here are Engelbart, Nelson and Howard Rheingold chatting casually over dinner. I really love this very much. These are two of my favorite bookmarks. ▶ this video (I set the start time to skip Rheingold's introduction but feel free to go back and view.)
