This article is amazing in its accurate predictions of future computers. It truly took me aback because I have never really considered the possibility of 1940s thinkers coming up with ideas for computer filesystems that would be essentially put into place in computers to this day. Reading this article, it sounded like the author had received a personal computer from decades later and was attempting to describe it to a 1945 audience in words they'd understand.
I think this article underscores the nature of computers and the internet in discourse and human thinking, how they can play a role in human understanding should be thought of more as tools than a discourse all their own. In 1945 Bush was able to describe how a theoretical computer would fit into thinkers' process, and he was right, despite writing in a time when the ability to transmit and reproduce 16 fps television was an example of the farthest stretches of technology.
It is informative to our 21st-Century attempts to use computer and web technology to improve discourse and understanding of our issues and ideas, to look at how 1945's discoursive methods could be projected to a future where computers were merely imaginary. Perhaps in looking to non-electronic communication and presentation patterns we can devise better electronic communication; we would not shackle ourselves to what is currently easy or available in ready-made editors.
