Upon reading as we may think, I immediately find myself entranced by this authors ability to almost seemingly foretell the future. While futurists like Jacque Fresco who portrayed the future as quite alien, that they had the the author VANNEVAR BUSH relates many of his concepts in his 1945 Essay "As We May Think" to technological advancements of our present time. Combining futuristic goals with problems of the past Vannevar is able to make the connections between photography and digital photography very easily. He is able to predict that through modernism and industrialization that technology will get cheaper and better. In his article whether it is stated that he believes that scientific research intended for war will be applied towards the common good. Vannevar is very good at expressing his views on future inventions, as well as distinguishing the need for some things to stay modernized and simple.
All in all I think this was a pretty good article its a shame I didn't have more time to post about it.
