| | The "inventions in detail" section is badly written... Also, it feels weird to use Engelbart's first name to refer to him. Excessively familiar, perhaps. --[[Special:Contributions/24.186.79.218|24.186.79.218]] 01:13, 7 July 2013 (UTC) | | The "inventions in detail" section is badly written...

| − | ::I took a stab at cleaning up the grammar a bit, and I agree that in this context, refering to him by his last name is more appropriate. --[[Special:Contributions/67.71.137.146|67.71.137.146]] 12:29, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

| − | Hi, is there any truth to the "masking codecs" claim in the comic and in the explanation of the inventions here? I watched the whole presentation on Youtube, but I can't remember that anything about audio was mentioned. Has this been presented some other time? Or is this again a joke, like the YOLO-cat claim? --[[Special:Contributions/84.164.96.3|84.164.96.3]] 12:43, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

| − | The alt-text, talking about Englebart looking forward to computers tracking what you're doing and who you are, is clearly a jab at the NSA and advertising tracking on the web, and probably at social networking like Facebook and Twitter. 'Direct messages', of course, is exactly the term Twitter uses. I'm unsure if this is the term Engelbart used, though: does anyone have a transcript?

| − | Passage of Time: There appears to be a considerable passage of time between panels one and three: note the appearance of a wireless headset. This raises the possibility that the demo presented so much new technology and took decades, during which the equipment was upgraded and the inventions demonstrated became less technologically meaningful.

| − | ::This is consistent with the fact that the first panel is dated 1968, and the Leonard Cohen song in the 2nd panel came out in 1984. [[User:JohnHawkinson|JohnHawkinson]] ([[User talk:JohnHawkinson|talk]]) 14:13, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
