| A simple method of organizing and accessing text and
other data through the use of hyperlinks.
Today, anyone who's been on the Internet
is familiar with hypertext as it's the primary way of
arranging and accessing data on the Internet. Hypertext is
a concept that was first talked about in an Atlantic Monthly article
in 1945 by Vannevar Bush, who
talked about a photo-electric mechanical device called a Memex
(short for memory extension) that could make and follow links
between documents on microfiche.
This concept was later coined by
Ted Nelson in 1965 who worked
for and with Andries van Dam at the Brown University. Andries with
the help of Ted and other Brown University students created a
Hypertext Editing System (HES). However, this type of arrangement
and access of data was first demonstrated publically by
Doug Englebart on December 9, 1968.
