Vannevar Bush and Ted Nelson were visionary thinkers seeking solutions to the problems of information overload and hierarchical storage systems that seemed to stifle human creativity and associative thought. Now that we have the World Wide Web, in what ways have these visions of Bush and Nelson been realized? What remains unrealized?
For people who don’t understand the world wide web there is still a lot of space to be explored. There are thousands of resources that everyone still hasn’t explored, like me. Bush understands the twist on how to store this type of “knowledge.” He wants everyone to know how to use this. The internet gives us so much, but not a lot of people understand how to use it.
Nelson thinks of this as an organizing system. When we create an organizing system, that helps the brain break down on how to use the system. With this being said all of the social networks are connected and are organized to talk to each other and make sure that what ever you post is seen on all platforms.
