computer dreamer who invented the mouse
douglas c. engelbart was 25, just engaged to (be married) and
thinking about his future when he had a dream in 1950 that
(would change/has changed) the world.
he had a good job working at a government aerospace
laboratory in california, but he wanted to do something
(more) with his life, something of value that might last,
even outlive him. then it came to him. in a single stroke
he (had) what might be safely called a complete
vision of the information age.
the angel in his dream spoke to him of technology’s
potential (expanding) human intelligence, and from it he
made out a career that indeed had lasting impact. it led to a
host of inventions that became the basis for the internet
and the modern personal computer.
in (later) years, one of those inventions was given a
warmhearted name, reminding of a small, furry creature
given to scurrying across flat surfaces: the computer
mouse.
computing was in its infancy when dr. engelbart entered
the field. computers were ungainly room-size calculating
machines that could (be used) by only one person at a
time. someone would feed them information in stacks of
punched cards and then wait hours for a printout of
answers. interactive computing was a thing of the future,
or in science fiction. but it was growing in (dr. engelbart's)
restless mind.
in his dream, he saw himself (sitting) in front of a large
computer screen full of different symbols. the screen, he
thought, would serve as a display for a workstation that
would organize all the information and communications
for a given project.
