what Facts, Hints, and Instructions inhabit that number.

the Web
is of a
common

we communicate
by sharing
information

27. Its universality is essential: the fact that a
hypertext link can point to anything, be it
personal, local or global, be it draft or highly
polished.

This proposal concerns the management of general
information about accelerators at CERN. It discusses the
problems of loss of information about complex
evolving systems and derives a solution based on a
distributed hypertext system.

30. Its universality is essential: the fact that a hypertext
link can point to anything, be it personal, local or
global, be it draft or highly polished.There was a
second part of the dream, too, dependent on the
Web being so generally used that it became a
realistic mirror (or in fact the primary
embodiment) of the ways in which we work
and play and socialize.

our interactions was on line, we could then use
computers to help us analyse it, make sense of
what we are doing, where we individually
fit in, and how we can better work
together.

66. Since then I’ve spoken a few
times about the idea that by
narrating our work, we
can perhaps restore
some of what was lost
when factories and
then offices made
work opaque and not
easily observable.
Software developers are in
the vanguard of this
reintegration, because our
work processes as well as
our work processes are fully
mediated by digital
networks. But it can happen
in other lines of work too,
and I’m sure it will.
