User experience and user interface is simply ancient. As We May Think: A 1945 Essay on Information Overload, “Curation,” and Open-Access Science. By Maria Popova “There is a new profession of trail blazers, those who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record.”

As We May Think: A 1945 Essay on Information Overload, “Curation,” and Open-Access Science

Tim O’Reilly recently admonished that unless we embrace open access over copyright, we’ll never get science policy right. The sentiment, which I believe applies to more than science, reminded me of an eloquent 1945 essay by Vannevar Bush, then-director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, titled “As We May Think.” As the war, with its exploitation of science and technology, draws to a close, Bush turns a partly concerned, partly hopeful eye to where scientists will rediscover “objectives worthy of their best” and calls for “a new relationship between thinking man and the sum of our knowledge.” Professionally our methods of transmitting and reviewing the results of research are generations old and by now are totally inadequate for their purpose.
