     Here is the demo that Engelbart’s team gave in 1968. It featured the computer mouse, video conferencing, teleconferencing, hypertext, word processing, and more.

     Honor this momentous anniversary by using a computer mouse to position the cursor over the 🔁 button at the bottom of the first post, and then press the leftmost button to click on it.
