In each field, there are the pioneers, then the entrepreneurs who make the market, then the commodity suppliers. In my opinion, you need all three to get where we are now, walking about with supercomputers in our pockets/handbags.
I'm planning to project the MOAD at College tomorrow. And trying to persuade digital galleries and hacker spaces to do likewise.
Moggridge's book on design Designing Interactions has a good section on Englebart and the activities of his students. Example: in this text box, I have a caret that fits in the space between the characters I am typing. I can insert text wherever I place that caret with my mouse.
