Memex

Taylor and Jourdrey (2009) states that “human learning is based upon the ability to analyze, organize, and retrieve data.” In 1945, Dr. Vannevar Bush had visions of how scientists would take what they learned during war time and apply it to new ideas and inventions. His article to the Atlantic consists of sections. Section 1 – Describes the “growing mountain of research.” He fears that the amount of time spent writing and researching will not keep up with the amount of information. There is

that this article was written more than a decade ago, Wright’s criticism still presents a limited understanding of the possibilities of technological advancements. Wright introduces the reader to Vannevar Bush’s proposed idea of a machine called the “memex” that allowed scholars to “search a vast repository of scholarly information, take notes, copy information as needed, and create new scholarship—all with incredible

writing was not something that was with the times and had to be modified. This futuristic thinking has brought about Google, Facebook, Twitter as well as many other advancements that wouldn’t have been here today if it wasn’t for inventions such as the Memex. Although there exist many benefits to technology there are also some downsides such as the atomic bomb that wiped out over 140,000 people in Japan. This atomic bomb did not only kill people in 1945 but the bomb left continued after effects such much

Depending on one’s profession or curiosity, the Dark Web, also known as Tor, can be a great research aid to the military, the police, or just to nurture the curious mind for deeper web searching not normally found on surface websites. The Dark Web Verses Surface Web The Dark Web better known as Tor is a layer of the online world that is less visible than the online websites unlike Google, Yahoo, or any other common search engines on the world-wide web. The Dark Web refers to a hidden aspect of

devices to make life better long before the computer was invented; Long before Microsoft and Apple. “Elisha Gray patented an electrical stylus device for capturing handwriting in 1888” (Gray).The vision of Vannevar Bush introduced the concept of the memex during the 1930s, The first stepping off point of today’s Micro SD Cards “memory augmentation involving a microfilm-based device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted

While the Internet is still a fairly new invention, it is not an entirely new concept. Vannevar Bush had a big vision in 1945 of what the power of machines could do for organizing and retrieving information. He dreamt up a device, which he called the memex machine. “Bush’s imaginative machine allows for the entire body of human

Ed Roberts Henry Edward Roberts was a computer engineer and became widely known as the creator of the first commercially produced personal computer (or microcomputer) in 1975. He was also the first person to create and popularize the term “personal computer”. Not only did Roberts popularize the personal computer, but he also was the founder of Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (Vegter, 2012). This was an electronics company that focused on the manufacturing of electronic calculators, and

Memory, as the most basic mode of information transfer in human experience, has shaped identity and created continuity through time throughout history. Historically, technology has provided memory-aid devices to assist human’s interactions with information. However, with the prevalence of computers and digital technologies today, there are modern concerns about whether the use of technology is to assist human activity and that to replace human intelligence. While current debates rage on about the
