NLS (oN-Line System)

NLS, or oN-Line System, was an advanced computer system developed in the 1960s at MIT. It was designed to facilitate interactive computing, allowing users to access and manipulate information directly through terminals instead of batch processing. NLS introduced key concepts like hypertext, word processing, and real-time editing, which influenced modern computing technologies. It aimed to create a more dynamic and user-friendly way to work with digital information, laying the groundwork for the development of the graphical user interface and other interactive features we use today.
