Chapter 3: Hypertext and the Remediation of Print

Observations.
The presentation was very cooperative in the fact that all three of the presenters worked together on almost everything. They had points that they did not agree on and they also had points that they all touched based on. It did feel like a repeating exercise every once in a while during the Prezi, but that was understandable in there Hypertext presentation.

Infer.
The main points of this chapter are mainly about the trees of information that can be found online. I recall that they said the closest thing to Hypertext is an index. During the Prezi one of the overall things that the group seems to be getting at is that Hypertext essentially makes everything easier. They also featured the negative in the way hypertext is not giving people as much freedom as they think they are being allowed.

Questions
1. What makes hypertext important?
2. Is hypertext a medium that will change how we write in general?
3. Does the use of hypertext as a product suppose to offend?
4. Does hypertext make other forms such as indexing obsolete?
5. Is the remediation of print meant to be a way of changing everything?
6. Although hypertext is prominent, is special in the way it s addressed?
