这是 Vannevar Bush 的一篇散文，最初于1945年7月发表在 The Atlantic Monthly 上，并于1945年9月以节选版形式再次发表——正值美国对日本进行核打击的前后。Bush 对科学研究走向毁灭而非促进理解的倾向表达了担忧，并通过他提出的 memex 概念阐明了对一种集体记忆机器的渴望，这种机器能使知识更易于获取，他相信这将有助于解决这些问题。Bush 希望通过这台机器将信息爆炸转变为知识爆炸。([

一份给技术人员看的优秀杂志文章清单，要是漏了万尼瓦尔·布什（Vannevar Bush）1945年发表在《大西洋月刊》上的《诚如所思》（As We May Think）[1]——也就是著名的“memex”论文——那可就太失职了。（这篇文章在拓展书单里[2]。）维基百科词条[3]的总结和阐释相当不错。这是一篇既发人深省又……
A list of notable magazine articles for techies would be remiss to omit Vannevar Bush's 1945 "As We May Think" for The Atlantic Monthly[1], also known as the "memex" essay. (The article is present in the extended list[2].) The Wikipedia entry[3] does a reasonable summary and exposition. This is a poignant and…
……花了几年手工把教科书内容抄写到大卷的屠宰包装纸上，存放在柜子里。他完全没有意识到，自己这套流程的颠覆性价值丝毫不亚于万尼瓦尔·布什的《诚如所思》。相反，他只想把它做成私有格式，塞进自己旗下一家做少儿教育的民营出版社去发行独家内容。他想要一个拼凑凑合的编辑器来做新内容，然后还要一个凑合的……
…years manually and had transferred textbooks to rolls of butcher paper that he kept in cabinets. He totally didn't understand the value of his process as something as transformative as Vannevar Bush's As We May Think. Instead he wanted to make it a proprietary format with proprietary content under a private publishing company for childhood education. He wanted a kludgy editor to make new content with and then a kludgy…

很多写代码的人其实根本没有深入思考过系统本身。我倒希望“Web 编程”能从万尼瓦尔·布什的《诚如所思》开始，接着讲利克莱德（Licklider）、泰德·尼尔森（Ted Nelson），然后是 HyperCard 编程（HyperTalk）。自己搭个 BBS，建个 Gopher 站点，然后再给 NCSA Mosaic 编写 HTML。读读 RFC 和 W3C 标准，了解一下网景的 SSJS……
Many people doing the coding haven't really thought that deeply about the systems. I'd like "web programming" to start with Vannevar Bush's As We May Think, then go to Licklider, Ted Nelson, then hypercard programming (hypertalk). Set up a BBS, a gopher site and then write HTML for NCSA Mosaic. Read the RFCs and W3C standards, learn about Netscape's SSJS…
