In his essay 'As We May Think' (from July 1945!), Vannevar Bush describes a future device called 'the memex' and thereby (conceptually) invented Google and smart gizmos. Here, humans create their own associative joins bewteen items of information to build associative trails that can be shared from one memex to another.
Great read, especially Sections 6 and 7.
