I am interested in the artwork (framed on the wall) at 3: 42 Anyone has links to the original footage, or the artist, or the name for this collection of shapes? Maybe these posters belonged to a graphics program to show what you could make with it? What software and what computer (specific for the Xerox Alto) was among the first to let the public generate these kind of shapes? Is it just a collection of different shapes, or is it a family of shapes, all generated in a similar way? I have many questions, just wondering: )
Really enjoying this series, it's really great how much knowledge there is in every 10-12 minutes video! Very well made and well presented!

MS Bob was awesome. It may have failed on the techy-types it was demoed and tested on, but so many people who are either brand new to or confused by computers (most people in cheaper office settings) would have flourished in that environment. Sucks that the techy-types thought it was condescending when it wasn't designed for them. Like showing a CLI-fanatic explorer. exe. They'll whine about it, but it's what most people need.

While I did enjoy the history narrative of computer graphics breakthrough in the 1970s and 1980s, I did wish the video had focused more on how the bitmap actually worked, how the images were stored and displayed on the monitor. These are the topics that usually aren't well understood and most people take for granted. Just my opinion, still a very informative video!

I'm surprised when talking about natural selection there was no mention of the fsn 3d filesystem interface by SGI, famously displayed in the -It's a UNIX system! I know this! - scene from the movie Jurassic Park. It's interesting because most people still to this day think was an example of -fake computer interface- so commonly seen in film for decades.

-[T]he complexity of the problems facing mankind [was] growing faster than our ability to solve them. Therefore, finding ways to augment our intellect would seem to be both a necessary and a desirable goal-
Englebart was obviously way ahead of his times! Writing in 1962, even his wording seems very much aligned with the modern transhumanist movement.

You started off wrong, the contradicted it later. The first commercially available computer with a GUI was not the Apple Mac, it was infact the PERQ workstation in 1979, Followed by the Xerox 8010. Apple even had a computer with a GUI before the Mac called the Lisa. ;) Rest of the video is great tho: )

My mother computer that generates all of my user data is XP SP 3 over all of my other computer operating systems by choice.
if I have to. I will sandbox it in my super powerful Windows operating system.

I take it the handler asks for a signal at a set frequency, like say, 1000 Hz? Either that, or it's got to have some sort of interrupt system going on.

So how does gui is created with another computer how the another computer is made and how the an9the computer that created the another computer is made?

No no, it IS true, Apple stole the GUI idea from Xerox. Just watch -Triumph of the nerds Pt. 3-. Steve Jobs himself described how it went on.
