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.
