Back in July of 1945 Bush coined the term "memex" in an article entitled
As We May Think originally published in the The Atlantic Monthly. This was
his name for "a future device for individual use, which is a sort of
mechanized private file and library."  The way he described it people
would pass on their store of memories to their children in a form of
evolution of data from father to son. Very cool.
