==1959 Memex II== In 1959, [[Vannevar Bush]] described an improved "Memex II".{{sfn|Cronin|2006|p=57}} In the manuscript draft of "Memex II" he wrote, "Professional societies will no longer print papers..." and states that individuals will either order sets of papers to come on tape β complete with photographs and diagrams β or download '[[facsimile]]s' by telephone. Each society would maintain a 'master memex' containing all papers, references, tables "intimately interconnected by trails, so that one may follow a detailed matter from paper to paper, going back through the classics, recording criticism in the margins."<ref name="Nyce">{{Cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/frommemextohyper0000unse |title=From Memex to Hypertext: Vannevar Bush and the Mind's Machine |publisher=Academic Press |year=1991 |isbn=9780125232708 |editor-last=Nyce |editor-first=James M. |editor-last2=Kahn |editor-first2=Paul |url-access=registration}}.</ref>
