It's kind of funny reading As We May thing by, Vannevar Bush. Reading about someone who came up with ideas like this but never lived to see what we will end up having. Think about it, people today talk about robots, joking that we're going to end up like in the movie "I Robot" where robots end up taking over. A day like this may never happen, but they still write books, and make movies about it happening. And just think what other kind of media someone will come up with.
Vannevar Bush had a great idea 63 years ago that we use in every-day life today. How many times a day do we use our computers. Things that someone might come up with, that sound too hard and complex to try, but in 50 years it might be something that most every person in the world uses on a day-to-day basis. Such as computers; just the other day my roommate got a new lap top, and it has a camera installed right onto the top of it. It's crazy how many things you can do on one piece of equipment.
Think about the things we can do with our electronics today. You can get on your computer and look at anything you want from all around the world. It might end up getting to where it's like the movie, Wall-e, where people don't even have to think for themselves. Everything is all just voice commands, you just say what you want and the technology knows what to do.
We could be at the peak of our invention in media, but I cant say it is. I was in a store the other day, and they had a desk top, all touch screen, you didn't need a mouse or anything. It's amazing how stuff changes, and how fast it changes.

I agree that a guy 63 years ago had a lot of good ideas. But to say that we might be a the peak. I would have to say that is a little far from the truth. Imagination drives invention and as long as we have imagination nothing can ever say the same. Far better things are to come.
it is very crazy that one guy actually predicted 7 0 years later, and he actually got it about right. i think the next step is to log in to syberspace with our brain. just like matrix. wouldn't that be crazy?
