Bartos Theater, MIT Media Lab, 20 Ames Street
This forum will feature video clips from a 1995 symposium in honor of Vannevar Bush, which included Ted Nelson as a speaker, to illustrate how hypertext evolved from conceptualizations rooted in older media towards the reality of today's World Wide Web. A discussion following the screening will focus on factors that have constrained current implementations of hypertext.
Organizer and moderator: Mary Hopper, MIT
