Well, there’s this Vannevar Bush guy, who has been sitting on it for sixty years :-) …

Seriously, here is a text I’d like to point you to: As we may think by Vannevar Bush (not related to the US presidental clan). It was published in 1945 and predicted a lot of interesting stuff. Now the technology of course sounds a bit silly from today’s perspective, but that’s understandable (I mean, if we’d write down what’s cool technology, how would that sound in 2065 …). If you get past the small picture, it’s just mind-blowing what is in this text: it predicted a vast set of documents with links between them, all accessible from a researcher’s desk (doesn’t matter that he thought along the lines of microfiche, not HTML), and among other things, the device you’re outlining, under the name “Vocoder”.

Definitely worth a read. It’s totally amazing … such a precise feeling for what folks implemented half a century later to celebrate it as the grand new surprise.
