4. Is Hypertext a More Natural Way to Write?

• Links create connections between elements that might not be connected in the first place.
• Hyperlinks imitate the human mind in that they don't follow a linear pattern, but they are based more on association.
• Conventional writing does not allow the reader and writer to have conversations.
• You can't interact with the writer while reading a book
• The reader does not get to contribute to the writing
• Word processors have tools that allow you to connect your ideas.
• Use of maps, images, videos.
• Hypertext reflects the nature of the human mind because we think associatively, not linearly.
