Interessantes Buch über das Gedächtnis mit seinen unterschiedlichen Arten, über den Ablauf von Erinnerungs-Kodierung und Abruf und mehr anhand von vielen Fallbeispielen über Hirnschädigungen, Amnesien, und auch persönlichen Erfahrungen.
Luhmann's Zettelkasten
Index cards played a large role in research during the last century -- the 20th century, that is. And there is still a great deal of interest in using index cards as a means for organizing one's daily life. See, for instance, Index Cards , More Index Cards , Photos , or any number of other sites that are fascinated by paper or "analog devices," as they are sometimes referred to by geeks in this time when electronic devices take over more and more of our lives. But index cards clearly also were the model for important early programs intended for what is by some called with the unfortunate phrase "personal knowledge management" today.Ted Nelson - Who invented Hypertext, Web History
ACM incorporates a principle similar to one named "transcopyright" by Ted Nelson. ACM will hold its copyrighted works on its servers and will give free and unlimited permission to create and copy links to those works or their components. So that readers can locate the context from which an excerpt was drawn, ACM will provide a way of linking a component to its parent work. Readers following links will gain access upon payment of a fee or presentation of a valid authorization certificate to ACM or ACM's agent; ACM or its agent will issue a personalized certificate of ownership to that reader. - Association of Computing Machinery; ACM Interim Copyright Policy ; Version 2; 1995-11-15.

Transliterature, A Humanist Design
Feature
It was the most radical computer dream of the hacker era. Ted Nelson's Xanadu project was supposed to be the universal, democratic hypertext library that would help human life evolve into an entirely new form. Instead, it sucked Nelson and his intrepid band of true believers into what became the longest-running vaporware project in the history of computing - a 30-year saga of rabid prototyping and heart-slashing despair. The amazing epic tragedy. I said a brief prayer as Ted Nelson - hypertext guru and design genius - took a scary left turn through the impolite traffic on Marin Boulevard in Sausalito. Nelson's left hand was on the wheel, his right rested casually on the back of the front seat.
As We May Think - Magazine - The Atlantic
As Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, Dr. Vannevar Bush has coordinated the activities of some six thousand leading American scientists in the application of science to warfare. In this significant article he holds up an incentive for scientists when the fighting has ceased.
"50 Years After 'As We May Think': The Brown/MIT Vannevar Bush Symposium" was published in the March 1996 issue of Interactions , a bimonthly publication of ACM. The following extended extract is published with the permission of ACM. The full text of the article includes diagrams that tie together the themes of the Symposium, photographs and mini-biographies of the participants, sidebars on the Bush's biography, technology used at the Symposium, and the future of hypertext.

Vannevar Bush
Vannevar Bush was never directly involved with the creation or development of the Internet. He died before the creation of the World Wide Web. Yet many consider Bush to be the Godfather of our wired age often making reference to his 1945 essay, " As We May Think ." In his article, Bush described a theoretical machine he called a "memex," which was to enhance human memory by allowing the user to store and retrieve documents linked by associations. This associative linking was very similar to what is known today as hypertext.
As this instrument was wheeled over land, it recorded the elevation on a rotating drum. Previously, obtaining such information for contour maps required a team of surveyers. Bush is shown running the machine. Bush was an undergraduate student at Tufts University at this time. He was never successful in getting the invention adopted commercially.

EECS Event
Vannevar Bush This year marks the 50th anniversary of Vannevar Bush's landmark paper, "As We May Think," published first in the Atlantic Monthly and subsequently in Life magazine. In honor of Dr. Bush's vision this research symposium is being held at MIT, his academic home. Attendance
Bush Symposium Information
Vannevar Bush was already famous as a designer of analog computers, and also an expert in the field of micrographics. He was already aware of the automated electronic information retrieval/control systems in use at places like MIT. Their origins lay in Europe with the coterie gathered around Paul Otlet, and they had a fully functional hypertext system with iconic access in 1912. Despite the War and the Depression, the march of both micrography and automated retrieval proceeded apace, and Bush was involved with their use in documentation during the war. The problem was not with rapid recall - that was well established.

Personal knowledge management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Personal knowledge management (PKM) is a collection of processes that a person uses to gather, classify, store, search, retrieve, and share knowledge in his or her daily activities ( Grundspenkis 2007 ) and the way in which these processes support work activities ( Wright 2005 ). It is a response to the idea that knowledge workers increasingly need to be responsible for their own growth and learning. ( Smedley 2009 ) It is a bottom-up approach to knowledge management (KM), as opposed to more traditional, top-down KM. ( Pollard 2008 ) [ edit ] History and Background Although as early as 1998 Davenport wrote on the importance to worker productivity of understanding individual knowledge processes (cited in ( Zhang 2009 )), the term personal knowledge management appears to be relatively new.By Steve Barth The most insightful KM comment I ever heard came from a guy in the seat next to me on a flight to Boston about six months ago. After takeoff, he reached into his briefcase and pulled out a stack of PowerPoint printouts for a presentation with knowledge management in the title.

KM 3.0: This time it's personal
Most people have just started to understand KM 2.0, but it was already a hot topic back in the old days (2007). It has not been very successful so far, and I believe the main reason is that it doesn't solve the real problem with knowledge management. Here is a simple overview of the differences between KM 1.0 and KM 2.0 by Mixotricha based on a presentation by David Gurteen. I have added KM 3.0.Curation
