1. Hypertext
 It presents a new way to read on-line text that differs
from reading the standard linear text.
 In hypertext, information can be represented in a
semantic network in which multiple related sections of the
text are connected to each other.

1. Hypertext
 The features in hypertext supply flexibility to the reader
when compared to reading linear text as books. Clearly,
some of this flexibility do not exist in books, but it is not
as widely used or exploited.
 Hypertext permits the readers to use these features
automatically rather than requiring readers to refer
manually to them as needed.

1. Hypertext
 This provides additional control to the reader in
determining the order that the text is to be read, allows
the reader to read the text as if it were specifically tailored
to the reader’s background and interest.
 The flexibility promises an advantage of personalization
and eases the burden of finding information.

novels, poetry, theater and even non-written text (such as
performances and digital media).
