[History of Hypertext] In addition to the establishment of individual links, Bush also wanted the Memex to support the building of trails through the material in the form of a set of links that would combine information of relevance for a specific perspective on a specific topic. He even forecast the establishment of a new profession of "trail blazers", "who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record." In current terminology, these trail blazers would be people who add value to published collections of text and other information by providing a web of hypertext links to supplement the basic information. But since we do not even have a market for basic hypertexts yet, we unfortunately have to do without special trail blazers. 1, record 1, English, - trail%20blazer

L'indexation associative des matériaux stockés en mémoire constitue la caractéristique fondamentale qui rapproche MEMEX des systèmes hypertextuels. Chaque élément d'information peut en sélectionner un autre de manière immédiate et automatique. Il appartient à l'utilisateur de relier les informations, d'enregistrer les chemins qu'il a définis et de leur donner un nom qui les identifie. [...] Cette indexation des informations imite les associations d'idées de l'esprit humain, établies à travers les réseaux de neurones qui relient les cellules du cerveau. Bush imagine aussi la nouvelle profession d'«ouvreur de pistes» (trails blazer), un expert capable de tracer des parcours utiles à l'intérieur de grandes masses documentaires. 1, record 1, French, - ouvreur%20de%20pistes
