  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

The Mother of All Demos - Douglas Engelbar

submitted by rottenseed

1 decade 6 years 7 months 2 weeks ago

Something for the "geek" in us all: Douglas Engelbar and a group of researchers present a 90 minute demonstration of their NLS (oNLine System). Many groundbreaking technologies were unveiled at this convention attended by approximately 1,000 computer professionals. The mouse was among many innovations demonstrated during that conference.

Part 3 of a 9 part demo on youtube (if you'd like me to submit the full playlist, let me know)

Wikipedia has come a long way

Moving this video to rottenseed's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

does *requeue still work???

Sorry, but the requeue invocation has been removed - ignoring requeue request by rottenseed.

one more fucking word out of you sifty, so help me god...

facinating. although i think a better title would help draw eyes to it

^ yeah. it's the title they used at youtube, but... meh.
"Groundbreaking Internet Conference from 1968"? dunno.
something like that, maybe.

that source clip has a lot of good info to include, in the desc, too.

and yeah, seed. a playlist is warranted, i think. i checked out a couple of 'em and... although it's obviously going to be pretty dry stuff, given that audience?
i thought it was pretty cool archival footage to have around.
