So many amazing ideas were produced in 1955 & 1956.

Makes you wonder what those ideas would have looked like with more powerful hardware. Give Englebert and his NLS team or Kay and his Smalltalk team gigabyte RAM and processors with powerful networking, and see what they would have come up with. It would be akin to taking the most innovative people today and starting over from scratch.
