As We May Think - Reading Response (Suresh)

Vannevar Bush was a true visionary.  He correctly predicted technologies that dominate our lives to day.  The personal computer and the internet is very close to what he is describing as the tools of the future.  This is particularly impressive being that he wrote this article in 1945.  Although the microchip made many of these predictions possible today, he explains how they can be done with the technology of his era.  He even foresaw the advent of computer networking.  Furthermore, we still have not developed the ideas he thought possible near the end of the article.  There are developments in progress in new human interfaces yet we are have not come close to such an intuitive type that Bush predicts can happen in the future, where we link directly to the brain.
