The beginning break down of the reading about the world web was slow. Not in the aspect that it was hard to read through it, but slow in the aspect that it was pretty much simple information about the web that anyone in college should (mostly everyone) should know anyways. While reading about the break down of hypertext, html, and the two important components of the web, I found myself thinking why the heck do I need to read an article about basic web information that I know about.
I found it humorous that the author decided to give early examples of hypertext. My favorite being the example of the epic written in 1000 B.C. that branched off into different stories. No. This is not a great example of early hypertext. It's a good figurative example because I can close my eyes and see it as an illustrative definition. But for the author to imply that an early civilized person created hypertext is an absurd waste of words.
Overall, I don't even understand how to create a thoughtful and intelligent conversation about this reading.

How does hypertext influence the structure of how the world wide web is "read" or understood?
