The Brown/MIT Vannevar Bush Symposium was held at MIT on October 12-13, 1995 to honor the 50th anniversary of Bush's seminal paper, 'As We May Think', which was published in the July 1945 issue of Atlantic Magazine.. Life Magazine published an illustrated version of the article in September 1945. In these articles Bush introduced the concept of a memex, which influenced hypermedia pioneers and led directly to the hypertextual information structures we use in the Internet today.
