20. Two papers Vannevar Bush, “As We May Think” Jonathan Grudin, “A moving target: The evolution of HCI”

21. Vannevar Bush (1890-1974) D.Eng from Harvard/MIT Professor/Dean at MIT Member of the Manhattan Project Helped to create National Science Foundation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanne var_Bush

22. Memex, the “memory extender” (1945) Concept sketch for augmenting human capability

23. The owner of the memex, let us say, is interested in the origin and properties of the bow and arrow. [...] He has dozens of possibly pertinent books and articles in his memex. First he runs through an encyclopedia, finds an interesting but sketchy article, leaves it projected. Next, in a history, he finds another pertinent item, and ties the two together. Thus he goes, building a trail of many items. Occasionally he inserts a comment of his own, either linking it into the main trail or joining it by a side trail to a particular item. […]

25. As We May Think Burning questions?

26. As We May Think What was the impact of the Memex?

27. As We May Think What did he get right? What did he get wrong?

28. As We May Think Where are we now with respect to the memex? What is left?
