In 1968, Douglas Engelbart revealed a visionary prototype that encompassed the essential functions of modern networked personal computers. His demonstration included ideas and technologies that laid the groundwork for advancements we now take for granted, such as graphical user interfaces and real-time collaboration.

Walter Isaacson's book, "The Innovators," highlights Engelbart's remarkable foresight and innovation, positioning him alongside other pioneers in the digital revolution. Engelbart's contributions have become integral to how we interact with technology today, making his early work a critical milestone in the evolution of personal computing.
