Though it was a revolutionary idea, it was a fictional device. It was envisioned to be like a pocket-sized mechanical microfiche notebook capable of storing huge amounts of data. The scope of the web and its global interconnectivity is much more grand than the memex.

Saying that the memex is the beginning of the web is like saying Jules Verne’s “From the Earth to the Moon” was the start of the Apollo program.
