Landow Response

Before I read this, I pretty much thought of hypertext as links that redirected you to other web pages and I really had no idea there was so much to the technology. So in that way, I thought this article did a pretty good job explaining just how sophisticated this technology is and how we have just scratched the surface in a lot of ways. I thought a lot of the ways he mentions hypertext being utilized were really innovative and it seems as though this technology is poised to have a really large impact on a number of fields in the near future and already has in a lot of places. As for the article itself, I thought it got a little jargony in some places and it was kind of hard to push through without skimming over parts. The fact that this was all pretty much brand new information about technology I barely knew existed made it a little harder to digest, but for the most part I think I took a lot out of it.

what kinds of impacts to other fields, do you think? what kinds of connections can you make? what kinds of implications does hypertext have for authorship? education> what else?
