I heard (second or third hand) of this layoff at Evans & Sutherland back in the day.

Martin, Steve Mellor, Ken Schwaber, Jeff Sutherland and Dave Thomas.

My partner is 26, from the Sutherland Shire.

Myer and Sutherland wrote a classic 1968 paper on what they came to call the Wheel of Reincarnation: simple displays accrue progressively more complexity until someone comes along and throws the whole thing away with a new, clean, design.

"Inventing" the GUI is a toss-up, depending on if you think NLS from Engelbart's group, or Sutherland's Sketchpad was a GUI.

The Geometers Sketchpad was inspired and named after Sutherland's work, and has been around for quite a while.

Sutherland fully lazy streamed computer graphics generation since they had no framebuffer at the time.

The youtube vid was an old demonstration of Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad software.

That has been a dream since at least Sutherland's 1962 PhD thesis.

>At that size, things start to get interesting, says Sutherland.

I disagree with Kay on his assessment of OO, I disagree that he's even the inventor of it (though he coined the term, word out to the Scandinavians and even Sutherland).

For what its worth Java had an even longer gestation period and it wasn't until Eric Schmidt declared that we had to have 1.0 in Bert Sutherland's desk by 1/1/95 or "else" did it actually get to that point.

This helped with other books as well, such as the "Lean Start-up" and "Willpower: Why we do what we do." It even helped me further understand some concepts behind Jeff Sutherland's Scrum book.

I'm sure I wasn't even the first, as I got many of my ideas from Chris Hancock's PhD thesis published in 2003, "Real time programming and big ideas in computational literacy", and of course the multitudes of less but still interactive Lisp and smaltalk environments, and fully interactive visual environments way before that (starting with sutherland's sketchpad).
