> The idea of the bi-directional link goes back to 1945 when Vannevar Bush dreamed up the Memex machine Ponder that. It does feel that in 2023 (= the remote future) the ambition to explore the full phase space of digital technology has flatlined in the face of oppressive "reality". False representations, enshittification, exploitation, dependency instead of bold visions of empowerment and augmentation. Yet future generations might revisit these visions, implement them in non-conforming software and reap the benefits that were denied to us. Thus documenting them in detail acts like these seed banks in the Arctic.
