What is hypertext?

a) a right-brain artistic panacea that is a revolutionary new concept

b) ‘hype’ + something else

c) an evolutionary concept for increasing the accessibility and usefulness of on-line text in a user interface

Your answer: _______

Hopefully, it is (c).

Creating a usable hypertext means synthesizing content, structure, semantic encoding, and wayfinding.

Wayfinding means providing human beings with the answers to four simple questions:

1. Where am I now?

2. Where do I want to go?

3. Am I on the right path?

4. Am I there yet?
