quote [ While the conceptual metaphor of hypertext was unknown to most of the non-computing public until the ’80s and ’90s, many of the systems that used these index cards approached a sort of proto-hypertextuality. Often they had elaborate, baroque structures for inter-card referencing, or for searching and finding tagged materials. ]
Index cards! An attractive little article about them.

This makes me think of Robert Pirsig's card system that he discusses extensively in his book, Lila: An Inquiry into Morals. For those who don't recognize the author or the book, he's the guy that wrote Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Both are freaking awesome books, if you happen to be temperamentally open to his ideas.
Here's a small excerpt from Lila about his card system: http://members.optusnet.com.au/charles57/Creative/Idea_Recording/lila.htm Also, this is pretty cool: https://ryanholiday.net/the-notecard-system-the-key-for-remembering-organizing-and-using-everything-you-read/ |
