I found this article to be very thought provoking with regards to Engelbart's work, but I can't help but read Bret's own worries in it. As if he himself fears being presented/remembered purely based on his inventions (Bret Victor, the inventor of the iPad interface) and not his goal (intends to invent the medium and representations in which the scientists, engineers, and artists of the next century will understand and create systems.) As a side note: why can't we, the general public, appreciate people like Engelbart with the same fierceness before they are gone? I'm sure they'd like to know their life was incredibly meaningful.
