I'll point you back at the thread I started on "as we may think".  In 1945,
before the first commercial digital computer, Vannevar Bush wrote about the
future of information processing,  including storage and retrieval.  His
comparison


between a fanatasy machine, the "memex",  and the reality of file cabinets
is still interesting today.
