Some take away ideas I got from the ‘As We May Think’ reading:

– Science has enabled knowledge to be recorded, parts of it extracted and developed over time to survive generations

– It is easy for significant pieces of information to be buried under the ‘inconsequential mass’ if it does not reach individuals who are invested in such information

– In order for a record to be of use, it must be grasped, stored, extended and most importantly ‘consulted’

– Conventional ways of recording are constantly evolving, with better or more functions, to enable faster procedures
