Reading hypertext on a computer means that one travels through a text in more
ways than simply reading pages and turning them. In the context of TV
viewing and its effect on our literacy, experiencing literature with hypertext
might well offer teachers an opportunity to use our nations TV addiction to
attract new readers and to overcome the passivity engendered by TV watching.
Employing hypertexts more active ways to experience screen images in our classes is
already changing screen life at home.
