👉 Uncle Computing is a term coined by Douglas Engelbart to describe a collaborative, interactive computing environment that emerged from his 1968 demonstration at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). The concept revolves around a network of interconnected computers, peripherals, and tools designed to enhance human problem-solving capabilities through real-time interaction. Engelbart envisioned a system where multiple users could simultaneously engage with various computing resources, share information, and collaborate on tasks using a range of input devices like keyboards, mice, and video displays. This setup aimed to mimic natural human communication and interaction, fostering creativity and innovation. Uncle Computing laid the groundwork for modern collaborative computing, influencing the development of personal computers, graphical user interfaces, and networked systems.
