This is one Bush who had a real brain:

"The summation of human experience is being expanded at a prodigious rate,
and the means we use for threading through the consequent maze to the
momentarily important item is the same as that used in the days of
square-rigged ships."
          --Vannevar Bush in "As We May Think", 1945

Thanks to Janet Murray in "Hamlet on the Holodeck", from which this citation
was lifted.
