Z-scroll
What was known about "this" back then? | |
Add time to your searches.
When doing searches for particular items, a simple scroll into the page (3D would be nice, but not necessary) will examine a dated history of what that search term brought up a month ago, two months ago, a year ago, 5 years ago... etc.
Prior to the internet, this could
flip into a history of what was thought to be known about those terms. Graphically, this would be a nice visual of the growth of human knowledge.

This is a T-axis scroll, not a true Z-axis scroll...... |

I would call it a W scroll, or is that reserved for the ana-kata type dimension? |

Why do I often feel like I've missed something....? |

When I was a child, my great aunt had an Encyclopedia Britannica from, jeez, something like 1928. It was fascinating reading. |

Likewise [DrC] I've got an old ship's doctor's book from the turn of the century. Amazing stuff. |
