Globe and Mail: After Hurricane Hazel, which killed dozens of people in 1954, Torontonians made strong decisions through their local and provincial governments - such as banning development from flood plains and creating conservation authorities - that proved extremely effective in preventing a repeat of the mayhem.

Doug Engelbart, the visionary who foresaw the modern internet and created the mouse, dies aged 88

Doug Engelbart, founder of the Augmented Research Center (ARC) at SRI and inventor of the computer mouse, has died at the age of 88.

To this end, Engelbart and his fellow researchers at the ARC devised prototypes -- in the 1960s! -- that could be considered the forerunners of the World Wide Web, Skype, multiple on-screen windows, screen sharing, and the computer mouse.
