Hypertext System
A hypertext system is a way of organizing and navigating information in a non-linear manner, typically using hyperlinks to connect related pieces of content.[1]
The 1960s buzzed with a digital ferment alongside the social and cultural revolutions. The dawn of computers and the burgeoning potential of the internet fired the imaginations of forward-thinking minds. It was in this electrifying atmosphere that Ted Nelson coined the term "hypertext," a conceptual leap that forever altered our relationship with information. It proposed an alternative to the tyranny of linear thinking, instead envisioning a web spun from silken threads of hyperlinks. Each click becomes a portal, whisking us through a labyrinthine world of interconnected knowledge, a digital archive no longer confined by the constraints of page and spine. Here, information is not a passive landscape to be traversed but a vibrant tapestry inviting exploration, a dance of curiosity guided by the choreography of the hyperlink.
