2-23-99 What is Hypertext?
- The answers I have found are very vague
yet very simple. Sometimes I can say well basically the WWW
is a huge hypertext, and this is true but the forms hypertext takes
are very diversified. I think I know the concept of hypertext but I
do not understand the flow of the varied forms because they do not have
a flow. There is definite purpose but as intended there is neither a
beginning nor an end and this has proved challenging.
Forms and uses found.
- Patchwork
Girl, although seemingly a very interesting novel, is very
confusing. I am not used to reading a novel that has neither a beginning
nor an end.
- Hegirascope
I found on the web and is even more confusing. It has been designed to replace the
current page with a new page after a designated amount of time aprox 3-5 seconds. There
are links you can choose to take before this happens but you better read fast. Reviewed to be much like
TV.
- Research papers as hypertexts make a great deal of sense to
me. There is a great deal of information that can be referenced further through the links
as opposed to just the actual written paper.
Is what I am producing here a hypertext? |

3-23-99 Other Examples of Hypertext
- The Victory Garden has been much
easier for me to understand than was Patchwork Girl. Reading
it is kind of like when I was younger and liked to read the choose your
path mystery books. I found it more interesting to explore the limited
web version as opposed to the full Storyspace version. Perhaps my aversion
to the Storyspace setting comes from it looking so much like a DOS system
area.
- I feel that I need to gain a better understanding of the
Storyspace software as well as some other mediums used to create Hypertext. Most of the
Hypertext I have found as of yet has been in Storyspace format.

- A journal for teaching of writing in webbed environments
- The major concern with all of the information I have read
is a need to have the information put in an organized, easily retrievable manner. To me
though the hypertext novels seem very disorganized.

- Very helpful reference tool in my research. Time did not
permit me to really read this book from cover to cover but the ideas I was able to
extrapolate were very useful.

- The Star Trek site is very appealing but to me just appears
as another web page on the net.

- Very interesting, beautifully compelling
story but still it irritates me that there is no rational flow of order.
I am not one who necessarily needs extreme order but I just can't seem
to really enjoy the hypertext novels I have read or attempted to read
perhaps is a better way to put it.
