This site is an ongoing project for the Honors Seminar, "Utopia vs. Dystopia: Current Issues in Art, Science and Technology" offered at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. According to the course syllabus, Vannevar Bush devised the concept of the Memex in 1945. Bush's Memex mirrors the movement of the mind in response to the tremendous input of data that we receive every day. The specific information to which the loggings of this website respond is based on assigned readings for the class. The text for this course is "Strange and Charmed" edited by Sian Ede. The titles and authors of suplemental articles will be identified on the page of this site which corresponds to the due date of that reading material. I hope you find my Memex a useful and fascinating resource. Thank you for visiting! ENJOY!
