Summary & Opinion Welcome to the present In the vast interweaving of stories by means of which we create and maintain our human cultures, the story of progress has been one of the deepest and most powerful. Stories have beginnings and ends, actions have consequences. The entire structure of narrative depends upon this simple reationship.Implied in this way of thinking about the world is the idea that we are going somewhrer. that the end of everything, like the end of a story, is going to be satisfying, that it will be in some wense definitive.That's what "end" means, with perhaps the sole exception of personal death; and we don't think about that much anyway.
As we may think A writer of this essay is Dr. Vannevar Bush. Bush argued that as humans turned from war, scientific efforts should shift from increasing physical abilities to making all previous collected human knowledge more accessible. (I thought that most important thing is 'Memex' in this essay. So I described 'Memex'. ) When the data of what kind of type is piled up in Depot, becomes the file with the alphabet order or numerical order. And it tracks information and searches information by classification. In addition, it searches one　　 item, then it comes out from the course system and must input the again new course. The human mind does not work that way. It operates by association. When one item is selected, it moves quickly to selected different item by association of thoughts. It was formed complicated tracks or trails. It move to place which is associated by wheel tracks or trails with non-linear method. Memory is temporary and instantaneous but its speed is great. The data which are distinguished by association of thoughts are quicker and softer than by index. This association indexing is possible by 'Memex'. I think that memex is great concept. Now, we use this concept in the Internet. I heard that 'hyperlink'. The memex is does not understand, but now, I understand from the explanation that hyperlink is a same concept.
