Welcome

Welcome to the Invisible Revolution, the story of Doug Engelbart, the man who invented much of the information environment we live in today (the computer mouse, word processing, email, hypertext and so on) - and still very few know his name.

This is his story, and the story of his fellow dreamers, thinkers, doers - revolutionaries - who changed our lives forever.

How did we go from using computers with punched cards - where you'd have to wait a day for the results of your calculations - to sitting around in coffee shops with laptops? It's a long and fascinating story, told here with text, voice and video.
