@BillySmith & btw I was very honored and fortunate to meet and talk to hypertext pioneer Ted Nelson, a few years ago at an event at #InternetArchive headquarters, San Francisco. IA and its founder/director @brewsterkahle are—like Nelson—major inspirations to me; IA a core & constant asset in my life and projects. #BrewsterKahle #InternetArchive c/ @internetarchive #TedNelson #THNelson

@BillySmith ➡️ "I will explain why the problem is not simple, and why the solution (a file structure) must yet be very simple."
— from the foundational document of #hypertext, and of this aspect of the Internet/Web: T. H. Nelson (1965), "A File Structure for The Complex, The Changing and the Indeterminate": https://archive.org/details/nelson-file-structure/mode/1up?view=theater. One of my favorite quotes, and papers; from the #LandmarkPapers category of which I'm quite fond. #THNelson #TedNelson
