Yep. I wrote a MS thesis on a hypertext system about 5 years before the WWW as we know it today took off. Even by then I had an extensive list of references to include. The oldest was an article from 1945 "As We May Think." (http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/194507/bush)

Perhaps we should say that "Bush Invented the Web", not Al Gore. ;)
