Alan Kay is the "father of the Dynabook". While Kay was an Apple Fellow and John Scully was CEO, Apple produced a video showing what could be done with a Dynabook-inspired "Knowledge Navigator".
You can watch two brief clips from the video at http://www.billzarchy.com/clips/clips_apple_nav.htm.
I believe this was done in 1987 (pre-WWW) so it is remarkable.
