In July 1945 The Atlantic magazine carried an article by Vannevar
Bush titled 'As We May Think', in which he described a problem
facing scientific endeavour, and ended up proposing a device he
dubbed the Memex. I wonder, could the iPad be the realisation of
the Memex?
Similarly, in 'The Mote In God's Eye', one of the principal characters
carried around a hand-held gadget with which she could find just
about any information she need to research. Well, we're kind of
there today what with collections like Wikipedia . . .
So I wonder, is this one of the places where the iPad will take us . . .
