 Leonardo Digital Reviews
Douglas Englebart is known for many technical innovations that contemporary computer users take for granted: the outline processor, the windowed user interface, the mouse, and one with which his name hasn't generally been associated, electronic mail.
Englebart's work was a rival to that of J. Licklider, whose projects in artificial intelligence sought "man/computer symbiosis" rather than mere augmentation.
At SRI, Englebart's Augmentation of Human Intellect Project explored the technical and social aspects of computing.

October 1962, Douglas Englebart filed a research report to the Director of Information Sciences Air Force office of Scientific Research for the contract AF49(638)-1024 titled Augmenting Human Intellect: a Conceptual Framework.
Engelbart's conceptual framework was based on the idea that the individual's effect on the world is limited by his motor and sensory channels that serve as gateways for information, his drives and needs; and his capacity for information processing.
One could argue that the development of the personal computer was as pivotal an event in the evolution of modern society as the Gutenberg press.
