Tabbed browsing: a lousy band-aid over poor browser state management (2014)
All of this is a lousy substitute for a Memex.  At this point, I think the incentives are strongly against them ever appearing, unless someone had a strong anti-corporate bias in their view of the world...<p>A memex would save EVERYTHING by default as it came in, putting it all into a long (month+) buffer... any links to &quot;interesting&quot; material would then cause it to be moved to the local archive. At any point, you&#x27;d be able to share your &quot;associative trail&quot; with others, along with ALL of the content referenced.  You&#x27;d never be forced to deal with a broken link for static content, ever.  (Which is why it can&#x27;t be done... copyright law)<p>The other worst timeline thing we got was HTML - it&#x27;s not markup, and it&#x27;s not hypertext.  It&#x27;s embedded formatting with links off the page.   You can include images and other things in an HTML &quot;document&quot;, why not portions of other documents?  (Security, that&#x27;s why)<p>I want my Memex... it sounds like you&#x27;re closer to one that I&#x27;ll ever get, good for you! 8)
