[Sigia-l] Information-centered Design

[Ed Housman]

Perhaps we should look back to see
what Vannevar Busch (sp)said about
the "world brain."  He was Franklyn
Roosevelt's science advisor way back
then.  I will look up the reference
in the old Panalog conference in the
80's... hold on ... here's the quote


======
ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC OR REFERRING TO EACH OTHER
IS A NOVEL CONCEPT FOR CONFERENCING, I BELIEVE.
ITS SIMILAR TO VANAVAR BUSH'S CONCEPTUAL LINKS,
CITATION LINKING AS EXPLOITED BY S.C.I CONFERENCE
======

No, that's not it..

Hmm. I will search for the reference.  Vannavar
had a vision of a central library of human
knowledge, accessible to all, though there was
no internet then, and very few computers all powered
by vacuum tubes and not connected to one another.

A visionary's visions are worth contemplating in
a new age.
