Here I Stand, at Age 80
I am probably too young and uninformed but would love if somebody could enlighten me more about &quot;Ted Nelson&quot; because after watching his videos and reading about him on wikipedia and from other sources, I find a little difficult to understand the fan following he has in the form of comments on his videos or in this thread.<p>In the video he claims to be the first one to imagine a lot of things in his era, very novel to information science which unfortunately he hasn&#x27;t been able to materialize yet and from the tone he claims all of the above makes me a little uncomfortably skeptical. IMO, nobody is ever first to imagine anything, historically great ideas have simultaneously popped up into quite a few heads and claiming that you were the first doesn&#x27;t show a healthy state of outlook.
