Of the things that Dr. Engelbart brought us, the computer mouse is probably one of the handiest. He got some help on that from Bill English, by the way. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute invented the mouse in 1968. Engelbart and his colleagues developed "hypertext" and computer networking protocols, along with bit-mapped computer screens and interfaces.
The mouse! ;D

Douglas Englebart is the inventor of the computer mouse. He invented the first prototype in the 1960s with the assistance of Bill English.
It was a guy named Doug Englebart, who worked at the Stanford Research Center, or SRI, in the early 1960s. I don't believe Doug made any extra money from his invention, since his patent ran out before they became widespread in the late 1980s.
No. It started in the late 1960s and formally became the internet in 1989.
It did not just show up out of the blue. It was actually invented in and around the year 1964, and patented by a man named Doug Engelbart. Bill English is given credit as a joint inventor.Doug Engelbart was a man way ahead of his time. His invention of the mouse was created in his research lab which he opened in 1963. Although he invented the first mouse 1n 1964, it was not adapted for general use until the 1980s, when Apple Computers was the first company to put them with their computers.Dr. Douglas Engelbart also brought us some other essential computer-related things. The related questions tie them in
