Hypertext

a study that texts read on the internet that have links included in them are actually harmful to our ability to understand the texts, as opposed to texts read from a paper. “People who read text studded with links, the studies show, comprehends less than those who take in information in a more sedate and focused manner.” (Carr) Again, he makes no reference to the studies he is using to support his argument. However, with a little research, it can be found that the study he is referring to refers to hypertext. Hypertext is an academic construct that, according to Scott Rosenberg of the Word Yard Project, was invented by Ted Nelson in 1965 “to describe that, unlike traditional linear writing, spreads out in a network of nodes and links.” He goes further to distinguish that hyperlinks, such as those that we see in news articles, and Wikipedia, are actually tools to help cross reference and deepen our understanding of the topic, and the study that Mr. Carr references, Reading Hypertext and the Experience of Literature, is not related to it. Furthermore, in this study, no comparison to the use of the written word was studied. (Miall & Dobson, 2001). Another point that Mr. Carr makes is that having constant external notifications can seriously affect one’s concentration, and that these people are less creative and productive. “Only when we pay deep attention to a new piece of information are we able to associate it ‘meaningfully and systematically with knowledge already…

Many students have been told to steer away from Wikipedia, but Boyd does a superb job of discussing how the information on Wikipedia is easy to understand, it is new and frequently evolving, and it is less bias than books. Some may say that Wikipedia isn’t credible because people can always change the information at any time, but…
