American engineer who pioneered human-computer interaction through the mouse, hypertext, and collaborative tools. Engelbart's "Mother of All Demos" in 1968 previewed modern computing. His vision of computers augmenting human intellect rather than replacing it offers humanistic technology philosophy. Engelbart's work laid foundations for personal computing and networked collaboration.
