NMR "Augmenting Human Intellect" by Douglas Englebart

Augmenting human intellect means "increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to cuit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems." This allows for faster and better comprehension, coming to understand a situation that was previously too complex to be understood, a quicker arrival to better/more effective solutions. There is laid forth a conceptual framework for such a computer system that would aid human intellectual capacity. Such systems would need to provide quick results for both long-range and basic research, produce effective changes in working/thinking, evaluate pre-existing knowledge and assimilate relevant info, and develop methods for accurate/productive research. In today's world, there is a sense of urgency, a rush to get things done quickly but without skipping over important information. Computers, therefore, can effectively perform several tasks/operations to aid humans in their intellectual capacity.
