It allows readers to create their own meaning and learn better associatively. Hypertext documents are interconnected through hyperlinks, activated by a mouseclick, keypress, or screen touch. This dynamic organization of information allows for better understanding and comprehension, unlike traditional text that remains static THEWORLDWIDEWEB(www) is a global hypertext system of information on servers linked across the internet, enabling users to access more information on subsequent pages or from any website worldwide. The term hypertext was coined by TED NELSON IN 1963.
