Editing Memex (section)

===Associative trails===
An associative trail as conceived by Bush would be a way to create a new ''linear'' sequence of microfilm frames across any arbitrary sequence of microfilm frames by creating a chained sequence of links in the way just described, along with personal comments and ''side trails''. At the time, Bush saw the current ways of indexing information as limiting and instead proposed a way to store information that was analogous to the mental association of the human brain: storing information with the capability of easy access at a later time using certain cues (in this case, a series of numbers as a code to retrieve data).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kaz |first=Matt |title=Vannevar Bush and Memex |url=http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mattkaz/history/memex3.html |website=The World Wide Web: the Beginning and Now |publisher=University of Michigan}}.</ref>
