now and again you'd be with someone and they'd put a disc into their gamecube and it'd be like "do you want progressive scan" and you'd be like. "yo put it on progressive scan, don't you know it's better?" and they'd be like "i dunno man, im not sure about this" and you'd explain the difference and they'd select Yes. and then their regular normal CRT TV would just start strobing, and making a loud buzzing sound, and flashing a message like INPUT OUT OF RANGE INITIATING SELF DESTRUCT SEQUENCE

Today, 55 years ago Douglas Engelbart gave the "The Mother of All Demos"
In the same session he introduced:
the computer mouse,
hypertext, and
the bit-mapped graphical user interface.
These concepts are nowadays as common as air and paved the way for Microsoft and Apple.

Unluckily I was not invited to the demo. Probably because I was only two years old at that time 😄.
Douglas Engelbart sadly passed away in 2013, but Engelbart's law remains.
