Dec. 10, 1944: Web Visionary Passes Into Obscurity (wired.com)

A long time ago I posted a video here which contained some amazingly far-sighted quotes by this guy from the 1930s. Maybe I'll see if I can dig it up.

Edit: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=81030. His vision was the "radiated library". How cool is that. And how accurate. It's uncanny to see this modern thing (the web) depicted in archaic form (with telephones).


Always appropriate, Vannever Bush's prescient "As we may think"
