Bush/Response

1. What is research like for bush in 1945? What are the problems with it?

     The research for bush in 1945 is "a growing mountain". There were a lot of scientists focusing on the research, and their way to research and purpose was the same. Gradually, there was a competition between the scientists. Because the competition, they did not want to work together. As a result, the research would not stop. They stayed in their familiar laboratories and study for a common result.

     For there were a great number of information, it became a big problem for people to find useful things based on a huge data. And it was hard to remember the information. In this way, the need of effective and cheap machine was obvious gradually. And the word "memex" came out.

And it would be easy to access all the information. The memex can help to deal with information quickly and conveniently.

     I think it is similar to the "Youdao" APP in my iPhone. "Youdao" is an English electronic dictionary APP. There are millions of English Words, records and columns. It contains lots of information for English learners. When meeting learning difficulties,  I can find the information through "Youdao" quickly and accurately.
