TheTedNelson: Memex, Doug, and the paperless office (2006)
In 1945, Vannevar Bush published an article
describing an imaginary "memex",
which would hold all humanity's writings
and allow the creation of annotations
he called "trails'.
Nobody can say exactly
what Bush's structure WAS.
("Trails" and "side trails" were all he said.)
But it inspired both Doug Engelbart and Ted Nelson.
But you can't have a paperless office if you imitate paper,
which is what today's software has done.
