Bush was an American engineer and information visionary who first imagined home
computers and hypertext. During the 1920’s, Bush and his research lab became
the very distinguished builders and designers of analog computers. This analog
computer was known as the differential analyzer and was used for solving differential
equations. Today,
Bush is remembered as a prophet in the field of computer science. He published
an article and in the article, he proposed a device called Memex, which to the
