Abstract
They say that every journey begins with a single step. The journey we’re on began in 1965 at Brown University, where the idea of hypertext was born.1 Hypertext, or text in documents that enables nonlinear navigation (called hypertextual navigation), was eventually encoded as a markup language named the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
Keywords
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
More precisely, the idea of hypertext is generally credited to Vannevar Bush in 1945, when he wrote about an electronic desk he called the “Memex.” For the most part, our personal computers are modern-day manifestations of this device. It was in 1965 that Ted Nelson first coined the term hypertext to describe this idea.
