Re:Gutenberg and www

Dear All,


The web address for "The Computer as a Device" is same with that of
"Man-Computer Symbiosis"

http://memex.org/licklider.pdf

The link is suggested by W3C 10th anniversary's "How It All Started:
Pre-W3C Web and Internet Background: 1960 J.C.R. Licklider "Man Computer
Symbiosis"

https://www.w3.org/2004/Talks/w3c10-HowItAllStarted/?n=3
