Baker corrects the record, demonstrating that by 1840, celebrity culture was thriving in the trans-Atlantic world. -- DHB

This associative linking was very similar to what is known today as hypertext. Ted Nelson who later did pioneering work with hypertext credited Bush as his main influence. Others, such as J.C.R. Licklider and Douglas Engelbart have also paid homage to Bush.
