So happy to see this pop up on hacker news again. An anecdote (as far as I can remember it correctly), during one of his award lectures (after the 1997 Turing award), he was asked why he thinks that some of his tech was easily adapted (mouse etc.) and some others weren't (hyperlinks). He answered "Maybe the time is not right yet." ;) Shameless self plug: I'm part of a couple of crazy scientists and enthusiasts following work from Doug Engelbart, Wiener, Stelarc etc. Our yearly conference is coming up next week: https://augmented-humans.org/ https://augmented-humans.org/ Here's a preview of this years work ... happy to see some crazy works there as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmu2bFN6kE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmu2bFN6kE Last year we had a keynote from Stelarc (linked from my blog): https://kaikunze.de/post/2020-02-18-augmented-humans/ https://kaikunze.de/post/2020-02-18-augmented-humans/ edited: anecdote fixed + spelling
