What I do know is that Engelbart worked for DARPA, which was the second generation of ARPA, and now called the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He was a successor to Licklider, and Bush before him.
He was interested in furthering the relationship between humans and computers, essentially increasing the interactivity between the two. He saw the computer as more than a number-cruncher, and helped develop some of the technology that made computers as user-friendly as they are today. These technologies included the mouse, the graphic user interface, the word-processor, as the window.
