It was December 9, 1968 and Douglas Engelbart presented what would later be called, ‘The Mother of All Demos’. He showcased his inventions, many of which are fundamental elements of modern personal computing: the computer mouse, hypertext, networked computers, a graphical user interface, word processing, video conferencing, and more.  In his 1962 paper, Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework, he outlined how a person could use a computer to comprehend complex situations, isolate the significant factors of those situations, and solve human problems.
