In 1968 Douglas Engelbart and a group of 17 researchers from the Augmentation Research Center at Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA, presented a 90-minute live public demonstration of the online system, NLS.

The research they had worked on for 6 years was shown to an audience of 1000 and demonstrated many innovations which are used today including the computer mouse, hypertext object addressing, dynamic file linking, and collaboration with audio and video involving persons at two different sites.
