Dec. 10, 1944: Web Visionary Passes Into Obscurity
- gruseom 17y agoA long time ago I posted a video here which contained some amazingly far-sighted quotes by this guy from the 1930s. Maybe I'll see if I can dig it up. Edit: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=81030 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=81030. His vision was the "radiated library". How cool is that. And how accurate. It's uncanny to see this modern thing (the web) depicted in archaic form (with telephones).
