I think it's even more relevant than that. This article pretty much directly inspired Douglas Engelbart and Ted Nelson, who in turn went on to work on the first hypertext systems (Engelbart on NLS [1] and Nelson on Project Xanadu [2]). Although today's web doesn't quite live up to the standards set for Project Xanadu (it involves microtransactions, link rot [3] prevention, the ability to trace back what links to any given page, transparent creation of compilation documents and other such things) those projects are part of history that led to us being able to have this discussion right now using a HTML-based medium.

Looking back at As We May Think and the systems it directly inspired today may be a way to help us make the internet better. It's not hard to imagine how with a few tweaks Xanadu-like micropayments + trasclusion [4] could a least partially replace banner advertising and help revitalize web journalism by making it not dependant on ad revenue.
