John Leslie King's interest in history was evident at the first CSCW conference in 1986. His review of 15 years of research with technology to support real-time collocated interaction, then called Group Decision Support Systems, revealed that we sometimes learn more slowly from experience than we could. In this article, he describes the little-known system that pioneered real-time human-computer interaction in the 1950s, created the computing profession, and trained hundreds of its earliest practitioners.---Jonathan Grudin
