Memex and Beyond Interactive Map
Memex and Beyond
The diagram at the top of the this page represents the nature of
hypermedia links as both the static, discrete node-link relationships
characteristics of traditional hypertext and as the dynamic, continuous
forms seen in contemporary systems. Each node in the diagram is active
and links to a key concept, such as spatial hypertext, or project, such as
HyperCafe. The spiral represents the continuum of time from 1945, when
the Memex article was published, through the most recent conference,
Hypertext'96.
A click anywhere on the spiral links to a time-based presentation of the key projects and people at that point in time.
