ABSTRACT
MyLifeBits is a project to fulfill the Memex vision first posited by Vannevar Bush in 1945. It is a system for storing all of one's digital media, including documents, images, sounds, and videos. It is built on four principles: (1) collections and search must replace hierarchy for organization (2) many visualizations should be supported (3) annotations are critical to non-text media and must be made easy, and (4) authoring should be via transclusion.

The MyLifeBits lifetime store
ETP '03: Proceedings of the 2003 ACM SIGMM workshop on Experiential telepresenceStorage trends have brought us to the point where it is affordable to keep a complete digital record of one's life, and capture methods are multiplying. To experiment with a lifetime store, we are digitizing everything possible from Gordon Bell's life. ...
Time Travel: A Live Demo of the Intermedia Hypertext System - Circa 1989
HUMAN '20: Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on Human Factors in HypertextIn the late 1980s, before the WWW came to be, hypertext was a hot new field. Brown University's Institute for Information and Scholarship (IRIS) developed Intermedia, a networked, multiuser, multi application hypermedia system that was well-known and ...
Don't Dream It, See It: A Live Demo of The Microcosm Hypertext System
HUMAN '21: Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Human Factors in HypertextHere we revisit hypertexts as found before the Web became its current established form. One such system from that time is 'Microcosm', which was initially developed at the University of Southampton in UK from the late-1980s to the late-1990s. Microcosm ...
