Hypertekstisesta

Hypertekstisesta refers to something related to hypertext. Hypertext is a non-linear system of organizing information. It consists of blocks of text, called nodes, which are connected by links. These links allow users to navigate from one node to another, creating a web of interconnected information. This differs from traditional linear text, such as that found in a book, where the reader progresses from beginning to end in a predetermined order.

The concept of hypertext was first introduced by Ted Nelson in the 1960s. He envisioned a system that would allow for easier creation, linking, and sharing of written material. The development of the World Wide Web, with its use of hyperlinks, is the most prominent and widespread implementation of hypertext technology. Hypertext is fundamental to how we access and interact with information online, enabling quick jumps between related pages and concepts. Beyond the web, hypertext principles are applied in various digital content management systems, documentation, and interactive narratives. The flexibility of hypertext allows for diverse and rich information structures, catering to different user needs and reading patterns.
