Linkage

A hypertext offers not only intertextual linkages, but can also bring other sources of information to the user's workstation which would formerly have been out of reach: sound, graphics, and even video sequences, can be systematically interwoven with textual materials in such a way that the author's experience in the field, in coming to understand another person, is brought much closer to the user.

The conceptual input is surrounded with a sensory richness that no printed text can provide.
