"As We May Think" (1945)

When data of any sort are placed in storage,

they are filed alphabetically or numerically,

and information is found (when it is) by

tracing it down from subclass to subclass.

It can be in only one place, unless duplicates

are used; one has to have rules as to which

path will locate it, and the rules are cumbers-

ome. Having found one item, moreover, one

has to emerge from the system and re-enter

on a new path. The human mind does not

work that way. It operates by association. ...

Vannevar Bush


"As We May Think" (1945) …

... It affords an immediate step, however, to

associative indexing, the basic idea of which

is a provision whereby any item may be

caused at will to select immediately and

automatically another. This is the essential

feature of the memex. The process of tying

two items together is the important thing. ...

Atlanic Monthly, July 1945

"As We May Think" (1945) …

Bush's article 'As We May Think'

(1945) is often seen as

the "origin" of hypertext

Article introduces the Memex memory extender

store and access information

follow cross-references in the formof associative trails between piecesof information (microfilms)

prototypical hypertext machine

trail blazers are those who find delight inthe task of establishing useful trails

The Mother of All Demos (1968)

Douglas Engelbart and his colleagues

at the Stanford Research Institute

developed the oNLine System (NLS) as

part of the Augment Project vision about the future of interactive computing

NLS was demonstrated at the Fall

Joint Computer Conference in 1968 showed first practical use of hypertext

computer mouse

remote collaboration (connected computers)

raster-scan video monitors

screen windows

...

NLS Demo


Hypertext (1965)

Ted Nelson coined the term hypertext

Nelson started Project Xanadu in 1960 first hypertext project

non-sequential writing

referencing/embedding parts of a documentin another document (transclusion) transpointing windows

bidirectional (bivisible) links

version and rights management

XanaduSpace 1.0 was released as part of Project

Xanadu in 2007

Digital Documents as a Paper Simulator?

Most people don't understand the logic of the

concept: "What You See Is What You Get" is based

on printing the document out ("get" means "get

WHEN YOU PRINT IT OUT"). And that means a

metaphysical shift: a document can only consist of

what can be printed! This re-froze the computer

document into a closed rectangular object which

cannot be penetrated by outside markings (curtailing

what you could do with paper). No marginal notes,

no sticky notes, no crossouts, no insertions, no

overlays, no highlighting - PAPER UNDER GLASS.
