thanks, I will look for documentation on that debate.

I think he looked at the energy work value as stable, as you need a fixed amount of Jaule to boil 1 liter of water from 20C.

maybe someone is interested in a not so well known predecessor to Bush's Memex, Goldbergs 'Statistical Machine' http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~buckland/statistical.htm...

"Bush seems to have said little in his published work about the antecedents of his Memex or of his microfilm rapid selector" - Buckland wrote a nice article summing it up: http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~buckland/goldbush.html

Shameless plug: Goldberg's life story and his search/pattern detection machine was the main inspiration to create Revealer - https://revealer.cc
