Englebart demonstrated an unbelievable amount of technology:

• Remote, collaborative text editing with his peers in Menlo Park
• Video and audio chat
• An integrated windowing system, with window resizing, etc
• A recognizable hypertext, whereby clicking on underlined text navigated to new content

Despite receiving a standing ovation from a shocked audience after his talk, it was decades before the technologies Englebart demonstrated became mainstream.
