Summary
Classic text from The Atlantic that essentially describes the Web, fifty years or so before before the web came to be.
My Thoughts
Impressive how someone can see around the next corner like that. In 1945, computers were still being invented. Yet, Bush somehow manages to extrapolate how they will be used.
