"As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush

Bush's article was a fairly simple one to understand.  Especially for super late night readings.  The overall concept that logic is what fuels science and invention makes sense.  Without logic to advance the future of science, machines and life in general would not be able to advance forward in synchronicity.

Some of Bush's example of machinery were a little outdated, however I believe that this helped make his paper more interesting.  The age of this writing created a fantastic image with a concept that was easy to follow.  Bush states, "The world has arrived at an age of cheap complex devices of great reliability..."  It is great to know that this one fact about the world has stayed the same over time.  Our human minds use logic with the help of these complex machines to advance the world.  It is a team effort.
