VannevarBush described his MemexVision in ''The Atlantic Monthly,'' July 1945. The following link is to an HTML version by Denys Duchier, University of Ottawa, April 1994. Updated August 1995, Simon Fraser University. *http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/works/vbush/vbush.shtml ** The page was last modified in 1995, and is beginning to show its age. One feature of this page was particularly interesting: it contains 11 links to various items and topics mentioned in the paper. Today (late 1999), one could imagine a version where nearly every phrase was hyperlinked to a different appropriate Web site. The article also mentions the possibility of printing the EncyclopaediaBritannica in improved microfilm pages the size of a matchbox. Now the EB is available over the Web. There is also a plain-text version at: * http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/365/mark/material/notes/Chap1/VBushArticle/vbush.txt The article is also available from ''The Atlantic Monthly'''s Web site: * http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/flashbks/computer/bushf.htm [for subscribers only] ---- In 1995, to mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of AsWeMayThink, MIT hosted an invitation-only symposium. The symposium's web site is still online (http://www.eecs.mit.edu/AY95-96/events/bush/index.html). Though there are little more than abstracts of the various presentations available, there is inspiration to be found there. TimBernersLee delivered a talk entitled "Hypertext and Our Collective Destiny".
