Abstract

This collection of papers includes a contribution that lists educational resources on the internet. It is thus salutary to look back at one of the earliest predictions as to how the internet might come to be, by a great scientist from the middle of the 1940s, Vannevar Bush (1890-1974). This engineer and inventor came up with the concept of the "memex", a hypothetical adjustable microfilm viewer with a structure and functionality analogous to that of today's hypertext, way back in 1945. This paper will describe the extremely prescient memex concept and its analogy with today's computers and the internet.
