William English, who alongside Douglas Engelbart built the first computer with a mouse and showed it at “The Mother of All Demos”, dies at 91
He was one of the computing pioneers who “showed what a computer interface could — and should — look like,” a colleague said. Tweets: @markhachman and @tariqkrim Tweets: Mark Hachman / @markhachman : I tried to interview Doug Engelbart, but it never happened. RIP William English, who helped make the vision happen. And did you know this is why they call it a “mouse”? https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/... Tariq Krim / @tariqkrim : A true hero of mine has passed away.
