Week 1 daily 4

A hypertext world would make us more accepting of cyclic history. If you could just click on thins to explain things we would have to research more quickly. If we could click on something that would take us somewhere else we would be much more understanding. The definition of a Hypertext is “text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references (hyperlinks) to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or keypress sequence. Apart from running text, hypertext may contain tables, images and other presentational devices.

If you were to keep clicking on hyperlinks you would keep going to different articles. This would eventually make you work in a circle.
