Program For The Future Map1 #231354 The Program for the Future brought 200 actual and 4000 virtual participants to the Tech Museum in December 2008 to discuss the idea of collective intelligence, based on the work of Silicon Valley pioneer Douglas Engelbart. |
From that conference, we have a set of initiatives and a growing community - all whose shared objective is to help bring about teamwork and massive collaboration on a global scale in order to avert planetary disaster - the vision that inspired Doug Engelbart to invent the mouse, hypertext, windowed computer interaction, multimedia, outline processing, wikis, and even more innovations the world hasn't yet widely seen. Doug's vision included many non-technical innovations - iterations and agility, human and tool system co-evolution to bootstrap development of both, and models for how collaboration programs ought to be run. We intend to take Doug's ideas, and extend them, and realize them. The video includes one on one interviews with speakers and other participants in the conference, by Future Talk host Martin Wasserman. |

Author: Valerie Landau, Eileen Clegg, Douglas Engelbart Cited by: David Price 1:19 PM 12 July 2013 GMT URL: | Excerpt / Summary Douglas Engelbart, inventor of the computer mouse, is proclaimed as a Silicon Valley visionary. Until now his message has been limited to the High Tech elite. His hidden legacy lies with his ideas that laid the foundation for the shift from the Industrial to the Information Age. The Engelbart Hypothesis clearly articulates his message for the first time in 50 years–– shedding light on the secrets long ignored about the potential of the internet, social networking, and a method for harnessing collective intelligence. By understanding this framework, large groups of people can unleash their full potential to augment natural intelligence for collaborative problem-solving.
A host of luminaries explain Engelbart's influence on their work including:
Vint Cerf, Evangelist, Google Kristina Woolsey, Cognitive Scientist Lev Gonick, Vice President, Case Western Reserve Howard Rheingold, author of “Smart Mobs" and others
