I was meaning "Which of Doug Engelbart's innovations do you find the most important?" But it looks like you understood anyhow!Sorry for that

IMO the mouse was the most important innovation, as without it navigation would way to slow and work would not get done as efficiently..pity he didn't think of touch screen back in the day.
Of all of Engelbart's innovations I think the mouse has to be the most important as it is a development that has increased efficiency, is extremely practical, yet also simple and convenient.
I think that the mouse was the most important because without a muse, it takes so long to perform the tasks which you want to complete on a computer (I know this from experience!) The mouse was a simple invention, yet it brings a major importance on how we can complete work on a computer fast and efficiently
the mouse was def his most important innovation! the concept is still there and has only been improved on! within the next few years tho it will be a thing of the past when touch screen comes along.
Its true that the mouse hypertext and GUI's are all excellent innovations in their own right but i think that it is the sum of all these things and others that were developed at the The Augmentation Research Centre which is the true great achievement of Engelbart.. it shows in the huge infulence they had in the way we interface with digital media today..
I think Englebarts work with digital text editing was his greatest development. This gives the user a high speed, creative work method that is endlessly open to manipulation, This enables the ideas to flow without hinderence from the processess that were previously required when writing a document. It is the perfect example of his H-LAM/T in operation.
Of all Doug innovations I think that the mouse perhaps the most important, becuse everytime I touch a computer it is the first tool I use to interact with it, it is the last tool I use and the most commonly used tool during my use of the computer
by far, engelbart's most important innovation was the computer mouse. while his other inventions showcased at "the mother of all demos" conference are all of significant importance also, the mouse far surpasses all of his other innovations it's accessability to the masses of casual home computer users
And I think the most important was how to create a network between computers, digital editing text and hyperlink. This was the beginning of one idea which will developed in the future. It is like a tale without end.
Doug Engelbarts most important innovations were the creation of the mouse, named simply because it had a tail, he was the fisrt to use cathode ray tube for the display of text.He is credited with pioneering online computing and email and he became prominent as a pioneer of the digital age. Personally I dont think any one of Doug Engelbarts innovations can be singled out as they were all ground breaking and extremely important in the future
I think his most important innovation would have to be the mouse for its effiecientency and also his creativity behind it,for example it hasn't changed very much from his basic model in the video.
I think that the innovation of the original mouse, because with out the mouse you would not have the screen cursor. The mouse and the screen cursor saves you time and makes accessing items much easier.
Without doubt the computer mouse is Doug Engelbart's most important innovation...the idea that you could reach any page or screen with just the click of a button is ingenious. I don't suppose anyone at the time who attended "the Mother of all demos" would realise it's future significance. The fact it is probably the most common and basic tool for navigation around a computer in the world should go to show just how important this invention was
