Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library. It needs a name, and, to coin one at random, "memex" will do. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.

The operation of a peer-matching network would be simple. The user would
identify himself by name and address and describe the activity for which he
sought a peer. A computer would send him back the names and addresses of
all those who had inserted the same description. It is amazing that such a
simple utility has never been used on a broad scale for publicly valued
activity.

industrial development provides grounds for reproposing in
new ways the question of human work.

I define knowledge more as a function of its structure than it's inherent nature.
