Description: The Memex Simulator is an open source project, implementing Vannevar Bush's concept of an automated information retrieval mechanism.
In 1945, the Director of the wartime Office of Scientific Research and Development, Doctor Vannevar Bush, used his position to promote a new era of scientific research into information technology. As scientists had expanded our physical capabilities with machines, Dr. Bush suggested that we expand our mental capabilities with technology. Scientific Atlantic published his popular essay, "As We May Think", in which he described a personal machine for the extension of human memory and for the sharing of information. While many of Dr. Bush's ideas were not unique or new, the synthesis and popular presentation reached many scientists (and budding scientists) and is often regarded as a trigger for the development of personal computers, the Internet, and the world wide web.
