efficient manner that has not truly been seen prior to the 1990s. The following paper examines some of the elements involves with hypertext and discusses why it is important to
computer communications. Hypertext Hypertext is actually very traditional text that is electronically presented. It is embedded with electronic "GO" commands. These are also called links or jumps. These
links can travel "to another part of the same file....to another location on a stand-alone hard drive....(assuming a network connection) to another location on the same LAN, WAN, or Internet....(assuming
an Internet connection) to almost any connected computer in the world" (Scribble; Count , 2000). Hypertext has actually been around for well over 20 years, although it was not
until the very beginning of the 1990s that it became commonly and widely used. "That was when the Internet adopted it to navigate through long emails or ftp documents (HTML),
and Microsoft made it the basis of their online help (WinHelp)...Earlier implementations, such as Apples HyperCard, didnt have a broad enough user base to qualify as widely used" (Scribble; Count
