Memex

Memex [memory expansion] is a hypothetical electromechanical device for interacting with microform documents and described in Vannevar Bush's 1945 article "As We May Think".

The individual was supposed to use the memex as an automatic personal filing system, making the memex "an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory"
