Douglas Engelbart was an innovator who developed foundational technologies like the computer mouse, hypertext, and windowing systems. He believed that as tools improve, human systems must evolve to leverage them through a process of co-evolution and bootstrapping. However, human systems have not kept pace with technological advancement, so the challenge is developing systems that ethically augment human capabilities. Engelbart posed questions about envisioning future decades of innovation and called for collaborating in trios to do good through transparency, accountability, and embracing principles of collective intelligence.
