There are many arguments both for and against hypertext writing.
Supporters argue that hypertext more closely follows the associative paths of the human mind. Detractors offer the argument that the linearity of print follows time sequence and the flow of narrative.

And yes I agree with both of them. Since now hypertext plays an important part in life, people are so used to it that they depend on it. Myself included, and also affected by its advantages. Seems like my writing skills and my grammar not only not improving but also getting worse because I depend on it to much. One click then I’m lost in the internet with so many un-related information that attracts me and totally forgot about what I was reading/writing.
Not only hypertext but also with other social media,smartphones, tablets, with just one click, touch, press , Im lost in the most amazing and informative world of the Internet. And by that I cant never get anything done. Like finishing this post. Meanwhile writing down what I’m supposed to research and write about, I have other tabs having music playing, sports, photos, etc.
I also find a funny example of life these days getting lost in all the distractions in life and cant never get things done.
But you cant get rid of it . The only thing you can do is to control and balance yourself.
