Back to the future


Finally I caught up with Alan Kay's presentation at recent Emerging Technologies Conference thanks to Lisa Rein's video recording.  It was awesome to see historical footages of  Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad and Doug Englebart's NLS hypertext from the 1960s, all demonstrated under Kay's Squeak (or Croquet 3D immersive virtual reality system).  Yes, it's quite something to see the future in the past.
