Question

hypertext Three days ago my mother was asking me why some of the words are underlined in blue, but by yesterday she was already an expert in hypertext. ˈhaɪpərˌtɛkst

Accepted Answer

A database format in which information related to that on a display screen can be accessed directly from the screen (as by a mouse click). Since hyper- generally means “above, beyond” (see HYPER), hypertext is something that's gone beyond the limitations of ordinary text. Thus, unlike the text in a book, hypertext permits you, by clicking with a mouse, to immediately access text in one of millions of different electronic sources. Hypertext is now so familiar that most computer users may not even know the word, which was coined by Ted Nelson back in the early 1960s. It took a few more years for hypertext to actually be created, by Douglas Engelbart, and then quite a few more years before the introduction of the World Wide Web in 1991.
