===Cambridge===
Douglas attended the [[University of Cambridge]] in 1950. In 1952, while working towards earning his PhD, he wrote a thesis which focused on [[human-computer interaction]]s and he needed an example to prove his theories. At that time, Cambridge was home to the second [[stored-program computer]], the [[EDSAC]] or Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (the first being [[Manchester University]]'s "[[Manchester Baby|Baby]]", which ran its first program on 21 June 1948). This gave Douglas the opportunity to prove his findings by programming the code for a simple game where a player can compete against the computer, [[OXO]].
