Slide 4: Origins  q Near the end of World War II, in 1945, Vannevar Bush wrote a seminal article on the future of computing in As We May Think. In it, he conceived of a device he called the 'memex', which today we might call the personal computer. Online collaborative software began with online gaming between early computer users circa.1975 Group Software is developed in the 1980’s The US Government began using truly collaborative applications in the early 1990’s Further developments in Groupware as companies such as Boeing or IBM started using electronic meeting systems to leverage key internal projects. Today we find Web 2.0 bringing a host of collaborative features that were originally conceived including document sharing, group calendar and instant q q q q q 1/27/11
