It helped change the way people interact with computers. Sketchpad is considered to be the ancestor of modern computer-aided drafting (CAD) programs as well as a major breakthrough in the development of computer graphics in general. For example, the Graphic User Interface was derived from the Sketchpad as well as modern object oriented programming. Ivan Sutherland demonstrated with it that computer graphics could be used for both artistic and technical purposes in addition to showing a novel method of human-computer interaction.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USyoT_Ha_bA&amp;feature=player_embedded' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.dotpusher.com/dotpusher/images/CoolStuff/Sketchpad-Apple.jpg' alt='Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad 1963' style='border:solid 1px #000000;' class='left' /></a>]]></description><pubDate>03/09/2009 17:39:55</pubDate></item><item><title>60 Minutes on Video Tape Piracy - 1979</title><link>http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x46sen_60-minutes-on-video-piracy-1979-par_shortfilms</link><guid isPermaLink="true">03/05/2009 17:41:03</guid><description><![CDATA[ Arrgghh the scourge of piracy, heard it all before ...<br /><br /><a href='http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x46sen_60-minutes-on-video-piracy-1979-par_shortfilms' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.dotpusher.com/dotpusher/images/CoolStuff/SixtyMinutes.jpg' alt='60 Minutes on Video Tape Piracy - 1979' style='border:solid 1px #000000;' class='left' /></a>]]></description><pubDate>03/05/2009 17:41:03</pubDate></item><item><title>The Most Brilliant Sci-Fi Mind on Any Planet: Philip K.
