What interested me most about Vannevar Bush’s article “As We May Think”, was his speculations on where the camera will go in the future; what it will become.

As this article was written in 1945 it is fascinating to see how far along the camera has come in terms of his speculations. He imagined that we would have cameras the size of walnuts in/on our heads that would take full colour images that we could then project afterwards.

Ok, so we haven’t actually come that far yet, however people do walk around with Go Pros strapped to their foreheads. They may be a bit bigger than a walnut, but commercial cameras are gradually getting smaller and more practical (although easier to lose).

In this image I found accompanying an article about Bush, the camera is portrayed somewhat like a Go Pro, only smaller.
