Doug was an amazing genius, whose ideas helped humanity. We wouldn't be here without Doug, an unsung hero who graced the world and gave us such huge gifts. Others took his ideas and ran with them, but he was the genius who had the vision initially, when he wanted to help humanity to think better in the early 1950s. Most of the world doesn't even know who he was, which is a shame. I got to meet Doug in 2002, and he changed my life. Doug had some really cool ideas that have yet to be developed. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. I just found out about it, have been way out of touch

My son just graduated from high school and wrote his senior project on Augmented Reality. Mr. Engelbart was one of his references for this paper.
Augmented Reality and computer science is what he plans to pursue in college and as a career.
For myself (a computer dinosaur), I so appreciate the mouse invention as I write this message and thanking Mr. Engelbart for his amazing contribution to technology.
May God bless you, his family, and hold you close to each other.

A brilliant man has left the world, but he has left an indelible mark on the today's modern world. Ecclesiastes 7:1 reminds us that a good name is a precious legacy to leave behind. Thoughts of sympathy go out to Mr. Englebart's family.
