Written by Ivan Sutherland for his PhD thesis, Sketchpad was a revolutionary computer-aided drafting (CAD) program in 1963. It helped change the way people interact with computers and laid the foundation for the creation of Graphic User Interface.

Sketchpad is a drawing device for architects and graphic designers, it is extremely impressive considering the software and hardware limitation, not to mention it was created 46 years ago. Maybe Microsoft Surface IS the future, finger cross.
