It's really interesting to read about the vision that drove Douglas Englebart (inventor of the computer mouse, did the "Mother of All Demos" where he introduced a bunch of modern computing tech for the first time). Englebart was a hippie who envisioned a future where researchers used the tools he was creating to collaborate remotely and work to solve complex problems. His tagline was "Boosting Our Collective IQ"
