Who is Engelbart and what did he invent?
Engelbart a engineer and inventor, was born on January 30, 1925. He invented the computer mouse and some hypertext (well this is the two main things that he is known for). He ended up drafting into the U.S. Navy and serving 2 years as a radar technician. The first mouse was made by a wooden shell with two medal wheels for it to move. He ended up selling the "mouse" (called this because of the shape and wire that came out of the back of it) to Apple for something like $40,000.
