Question: Will a "hypertext" world make us more accepting of cyclic history?
Our changing world plays a large part in our understanding of new and more intricate things. This includes our understanding of history, as well as, our understanding of the sciences, technology, humankind, and so much more. One of the things that have brought us to be better and share knowledge easier is the creation of the internet. The internet in so many ways has enhanced our ability to learn and grow as one large family. It is one big resource full of endless information. The ability we have uncovered through the internet is the fact that people all over the world can have information about anything they want and be better informed. This huge advancement uncovered so much more though. On the internet, hypertext is a common thing we often do not even realize when we are navigating through the internet’s vast supply of knowledge. It is when the text is blue and underlined. This means that it is a hyperlink that will take you to another site related to that word once you click on or select it. This is called hypertext. This enables internet searchers to find lots of information on any topic. If you were to consider if a hypertext world would make us more accepting of theories of history like cyclic history, you would be interested to find it probably would create an impact. Hypertext would let people easily find access to information on the topic with lots of supporting information as well. Weather, this would cause them to become more accepting would be dependent if they believe in it. Although, I believe that hypertext makes it at least more likely that people would be better informed to make a better decision. Therefore, hypertext does create the potential for a more accepting view of cyclic history.
