	MemexSim: The Memex Simulator: Design
		The description of the Memex in "As We May Think" and the subsequent Time Magazine diagrams indicate that there are two screens with independent projectors mounted in the desk top.
		While the Memex was never built, and in fact only vaguely defined, the images from the Time Magazine articles (which were the result of collaboration between Dr. Bush and the artist) seem to represent a mechanism similar to those that Dr. Bush was implementing for other projects.
		This indicates that the Memex must be able to duplicate both the document data and the metadata of interconnections and to package it in a transportable form for insertion into another Memex.

	Memex users guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Memex client is a signed applet that interacts with the browser and connects to the Memex server over HTTP.
		Memex will do this lazily in the background, populating the right panel with URL's whose folder membership has been `guessed,' visually flagged by a `?' in the rightmost column.
		When the user selects a folder, Memex shows (a configurable number of the) most recently browsed pages which belong to the selected topic, reminding the user of the latest topical context.

	Using Memex to archive and mine \\community Web browsing experience
		Memex would unobtrusively archive, analyze, and index our complete experience, covering books, movies, music, conversation etc. Since then this theme of a `living' hypermedia into which we ``weave ourselves'' has been emphasized often, e.g., by Douglas Engelbart and Ted Nelson, and of late by Tim Berners-Lee.
		Memex is a large project involving hypertext data mining, browser plug-in and applet design, servlets and associated distributed database architecture, and user interfaces.
		Memex is best distinguished from bookmark archival services by its ability to synthesize a topic taxonomy from the browsing and bookmarking habits of a user community.

		The MEMEX is also able to save a traversal history.
		Although Bush's MEMEX has never been built, his idea of retrieval by association has inspired the notion of a dynamic information system ---- the hypertext/hypermedia system.

		This project, the Memex Simulator, examines the ideas of the Memex and implements them as faithfully to Doctor Bush's original specifications as is possible given the small amount of information available on the as-of-yet unrealized physical design.
		Because of the prohibitive complexity and cost of film and hardware for a device such as the Memex, this project uses modern software and computer hardware in the place of film, projectors, and analog mechanical controls.
		The Memex design was caught in a unique moment after the realization that science was poised to provide radical tools for thought but before the startling scale up of cheap digital electronic computational devices.

	Memex
		Vannevar Bush first wrote of the device he called the memex early in the 1930s.
		The 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" (102).
		A memex resembled a desk with two pen-ready touch screen monitors and a scanner surface.

	Vannevar Bush and the Memex
		Writing in the days before digital computing (the first idea for a memex came to him in the mid-1930s), Bush conceived of his device as a desk with translucent screens, levers, and motors for rapid searching of microform records.
		Bush's remarkably prescient description of how the memex user creates and then follows links joins his major recognition that trails of such links themselves constitute a new form of textuality and new form of writing.
		These new memex books themselves, it becomes clear, are the new book, or one additional version of the new book, and, like books, these trail sets or webs can be shared.

	Memex - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		Según explica: "Un memex es un dispositivo en el que una persona guarda sus libros, archivos y comunicaciones, dotados de mecanismos que permiten la consulta con gran rapidez y flexibilidad.
		El Memex se concebía como un dispositivo o aparato, se trataba de una especie de mesa con superficies translúcidas, palancas y motores para una búsqueda rápida de archivos en forma de microfilmes.
		Estos memex nuevo reserva a sí mismo, se aclara, es el libro nuevo, o una versión adicional del libro nuevo, y, como libros, éstos arrastran los conjuntos o las telarañas se pueden compartir.

	Bush's Memex as Poetic Machine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Bush's idea of the memex, to which he occasionally turned his thoughts for three decades, directly influenced Nelson, Douglas Englebart, Andries van Dam, and other pioneers in computer hypertext, including the group at the Brown University's Institute for Research in Information and Scholarship (IRIS) who created Intermedia.
		Second, despite the fact that he conceived of the memex before the advent of digital computing, Bush perceives that something like virtual textuality is essential for the changes he advocates.
		They also produce a concept of multiple textuality, since within the memex world texts refers to (a) individual reading units that constitute a traditional "work," (b) those entire works, (c) sets of documents created by trails, and perhaps (d) those trails themselves without accompanying documents.

		Only a small part of the interior of the memex is devoted to storage, the rest to mechanism.
		Most of the memex contents are purchased on microfilm ready for insertion.
		When one is in place, the depression of a lever causes it to be photographed onto the next blank space in a section of the memex film, dry photography being employed.

	External Research & Programs: Digital Memories (Memex) 2005 RFP
		In 1945, Vannevar Bush wrote an article called “As We May Think,” in which he posited Memex: “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.” Memex was to have virtually unlimited memory.
		Memex has been an inspiration for the past 50 years.
		Building on Vannevar Bush’s “memex” vision, the Digital Memories (Memex) research kit gives a jump-start to perform research around storing all of an individual’s lifetime information, novel capture methods (for example, Bush’s head-worn stereo camera), linking of information, and use of meta-data.

	World Wide Web History \| Vannevar Bush & Memex
		In 1959, Vannevar Bush proposed the Memex II, which would improve over the original Memex in a number of ways.
		The two most noteworthy additions in the Memex II were the use of color to distinguish old trails from new trails, and the use of phone lines in order to add documents to one's personal database (Bush, 1959, 172-174).
		The notion that this vast amount of "miniaturized" information could be selected through a process of personal associations set Bush apart from his predecessors, and would eventually have great influence on future information pioneers.

		The owner of the memex, let us say, is interested in the origin and properties of the bow and arrow.
		Specifically he is studying why the short Turkish bow was apparently superior to the English long bow in the skirmishes of the Crusades.
		So he sets a reproducer in action, photographs the whole trail out, and passes it to his friend for insertion in his own memex, there to be linked into the more general trail.

	Emanuel Goldberg, Electronic Document Retrieval, And Vannevar Bush's Memex
		The Memex was based on Bush's work during 1938-1940 developing an improved photoelectric microfilm selector, an electronic retrieval technology pioneered by Emanuel Goldberg of Zeiss Ikon, Dresden, in the 1920s.
		The Memex itself is an imaginary personal information system designed around a sophisticated microfilm reader and with more functionality than any microfilm reader ever built.
		Bush's Memex draws on two main sources: His view of associative trails as the mechanism by which the brain works; and photographic and other technology available in the late 1930s.

	World Wide Web History \| Vannevar Bush & Memex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Vannevar Bush was a scientist and inventor, and is known most for his creation of the first Differential Analyzer in 1931: a machine that could solve two third-order differential equations simultaneously.
		Less known, and perhaps just as important, was Bush's plan for a device he called Memex.
		While working on projects such as the Differential Analyzers, Bush became more interested in the same area Wells had in the 1930's: the overwhelming amount of academic information and literature that was being published.

	Back to the Memex
		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.
		In Bush's description, the Memex holds all the pieces of everything you have ever read, and lets you easily add notes, and organize those notes into meaningful research.
		In my own writing and research, the closest thing I have ever found to this is a small shareware application, called Zoot.

	[No title]
		This volume, which the editors have divided into sections on the creation, extension, and legacy of the Memex, combines seven essays by the man credited with envisioning hypertext with eleven others by others that set his ideas within a variety of contexts.
		Their fascinating piece, which is packed with information, reveals that Bush conceived the Memex almost a decade and a half before he published "As We May Think!" The editors' second chapter traces the development of Bush's conceptions of the Memex from "a memory extender" (122) to an intellectual symbiot.
		Bush, who in later years increasingly approached conceptions of machine thinking found in cyberpunk novelists like Rudy Rucker, nonetheless at the end pulled back from a full identification of man and machine, and he did so as a means, the editors argue, of "defending against materialism" (135).
