To be honest,personally, the reading in this week is difficult to understand. Because, except of language problem, in the root of myself that i am unfamiliar with the aspects of computer. I already try my best to analysis the part which i can understand in this article.
The theme from this article of Landow and Hypertext is that people apply the digital media with education, and discuss the effect of it. In modern society, the digital text start widely utilize in internet world to be a great tool for education. Hypertext is the one of digital media which is clearly used in student study. The obvious feature of hypertext is the strong collection ability. In other word, hypertext look like a huge net which consists of different information form different folder. The users can search more information by one folder linking to another folder. In this way, people could receive various of message form the whole world. Such as the video, music and so on.
However, as many people said, the internet learning not suitable for everyone. For instance, in the lecture or in class. Some students are used to write notes by their computers. Undoubtedly, this is a convenient and fast way compared with hand writing. But, as wee can see, there are few students are easily distract by internet. Especially for the social media software, and some games.
To sum up, the hypertext provide student a perfect high -tech way to study, however, it is still contains some potential problems. In the further day, maybe the internet learning be more comprehensive, student can use it to search the materials without other temptation.
