HEROES
Buckminster Fuller
In 1962, R. Buckminster Fuller published plans for a, "giant, 200-foot diameter... miniature earth -- the most accurate global representation of our planet ever to be realized." The Geoscope would be a massive 3-D educational environment, using an array of computers and databases to display real-time and historical data on nearly any world situation.
Doug Engelbart inspired by Vannevar Bush's Memex video overview. Engelbart's 1968 Mother of All Demos was years ahead of its time, introducing concepts that would be realized, eventually in the PC and WWW.
