“In 1945, Bush authored the article ‘As We May Think’ in the Atlantic Monthly in which he first proposed his idea of the Memex machine. This machine was designed to help people sort through the enormous amount of published information available throughout the world… The machine would augment human memory by allowing the user to make links, or ‘associative trails,’ between documents. Bush… introduced the terms ‘links,’ ‘linkages,’ ‘trails,’ and ‘Web’ through his descriptions of a new type of textuality. Bush’s article greatly influenced the creators of what we know as ‘hypertext’ and how we use the Internet today.”
