- Vannevar Bush, Memex (1945) and assosiative reading, links betveen texts, a mechanical idea of intertextuality?

- Douglas Engelbart, Augmentation (1950-60), for mental cooperation, common idea inside a workingroup. (Invented also a mouse and a window)

- Theodore (Ted) Nelson, invented terms hypertext, hypermedia. Xanadu -project 60` became as Literary Machines 1993 (vs Internet). Non-seguential ie. unlinear

(Is it possibe to understand unlinear fiction? Would multilinear be better? Ie several possibilitites to read, several orders to the text.)

- Hypercard and links between two lexias (Barthes, S/Z and George P. Landlow).

Lexias can include pictures, sound etc. Is it the same as hypermedia or multimedia?

- Links, anchors and cues (linikit, ankuurit ja vihjeet) A cue could be a colour, a button etc.

- Hypertext editors: Story Space for authors (Michael Jyce, Stuart Moulthorp), Hypercard for guide books and manuals, html for everything? CD-rom, director?
