Vannevar Bush As We May Think

• Helps us think about bigger issues
• Reasoned, technological extrapolation
• Focused on creativity augmentation
• Or conversely, repetitive task reduction
• Accelerating information acquisition
• Requires improved information access
• Draw inspiration from human cognition
• Metadata vs. content semantics

Attention
What information consumes is rather obvious it
consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a
wealth of information creates a poverty of
attention, and a need to allocate that attention
efficiently among the overabundance of
information sources that might consume
it. Herb Simon as quoted by Hal Varian
Scientific American September 1995

  larger study)
