Well, you did also say "If it ain't broke don't fix it", so we might be agreeing. You wouldn't want any new programming language to roll its own SSL library rather than using OpenSSL or GnuTLS, would you?

I have some trouble seeing how Engelbart's demo wasn't just integrating many existing technologies. For example, live television had existed for decades, so teleconferencing would seem like a small leap. While Engelbart's t
