Vannevar's Memex
I think this guy was on to something. Really, the Memex should be reproduced officially and put in a museum even if it no longer functions with our current media. What a visionary Vannevar Bush was. The year was 1945, and I'm sure not that many people reading Life magazine thought about it's possibilites. It probably seemed like a sci-fi story. Surprised he's not revered as someone more popularly known. At least, I haven't heard of him...Anyways, it's stunning to see how far your imagination can take you.

Its kind of like one of those inventions that are made in a movie, and it just so happens to come true

Like that one french movie, where they shot a rocket at the moon, and it goes right in its eye.... Now, we have NASA
