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.
