00:00:01,069 --> 00:00:03,319
(clicking)

2
00:00:04,944 --> 00:00:06,618
(whirring)

3
00:00:06,618 --> 00:00:08,868
(clicking)

4
00:00:14,373 --> 00:00:16,533
- [Narrator] The owner
of the memex, let us say,

5
00:00:16,533 --> 00:00:19,647
is interested in the properties
of the bow and arrow.

6
00:00:19,647 --> 00:00:22,639
He has dozens of possibly
pertinent books and articles

7
00:00:22,639 --> 00:00:27,639
in his memex. (clicking and whirring)

8
00:00:27,817 --> 00:00:30,161
First he runs through an encyclopedia,

9
00:00:30,161 --> 00:00:32,085
finds an interesting but sketchy article,

10
00:00:32,085 --> 00:00:33,837
and leaves it projected.

11
00:00:33,837 --> 00:00:37,170
(clicking and thumping)

12
00:00:42,204 --> 00:00:45,924
Next, in the history, he
finds another pertinent item,

13
00:00:45,924 --> 00:00:50,924
and ties the two together.
(whirring and clicking)

14
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:58,854
Thus he goes, building
a trail of many items.

15
00:00:58,854 --> 00:01:02,084
Occasionally, he inserts
a comment of his own,

16
00:01:02,084 --> 00:01:04,402
either linking it into the main trail,

17
00:01:04,402 --> 00:01:08,735
or joining it by a side
trail, to a particular item.

18
00:01:11,507 --> 00:01:14,118
His trails do not fade.

19
00:01:14,118 --> 00:01:17,118
Several years later,
his talk with a friend

20
00:01:17,118 --> 00:01:21,376
turns to the Turkish bow. In
fact he has a trail on it.

21
00:01:21,376 --> 00:01:25,500
It is an interesting trail,
pertinent to the discussion.

22
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:27,928
So he sets a reproducer in action,

23
00:01:27,928 --> 00:01:30,287
photographs the whole trail out,

24
00:01:30,287 --> 00:01:34,360
and passes it to his friend
for insertion in his own memex.

25
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,610
(clicking)

26
00:01:39,846 --> 00:01:41,436
(whirring)

27
00:01:41,436 --> 00:01:43,686
(clicking)

28
00:01:50,806 --> 00:01:53,056
(whirring)

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,240
(children laughing)

00:01:59,243 --> 00:02:01,493
