After reading these two articles, I could notice many similarities between the desired goals of Vannevar Bush + Tim Burners Lee. In Bush's article, "As We May Think," he describes multiple innovations that allowed for better communications between humans, but explains how they could be improved. He then describes a device that contains an individual's records, books, communications, etc. He calls it a memex. This encyclopedia of information could also be accessed by others as well, somewhat predicting the version of the internet that Lee wants: an internet where its accessibility or content isn't affected by ISPs or an external factors. Much of Tim Burners Lee's article, "Long Live The Web," advocates for a proper use of the web.

I think these articles are very insightful as it brings together two perspectives from before the intenet/world wide web was invented and another one from after they were invented. It just puts into perspective how much the open access to information meant to scientists/engineers alike. Even today, the inventor of the world wide web is still pushing for a freer and more open way for information and discourse to travel. Back then, the barriers to that was the lack of an internet/portable information device (like the "memex"). Now, the barriers are held up by ISPs or companies closing their websites from others.
