This is kind of what I felt like during the readings on hypertext. As much as I would like to boast that I completely understand it all, I’d be lying. I felt it sort of came together when it explained it is more about “quality of the individual reader’s experience” and that it can take a path, and that path that occasionally “curves back on itself or heads in strange directions.”

Obviously I still haven’t grasped it completely but it helps to think about it as “multidirectional and theoretically infinite”…

ok so honestly most of this just kind of reminds me of a game I would play back at school where a friend and myself would pick a topic and then start on a random page on wikipedia and the first person to get to that topic from that wikipedia page using only the links provided on that page wins.
I know the game is confusing but so was this reading…

If anything to me that’s the very basic of how I understand it that through hyperlinks the story is much deeper and can be linked out to many other literary sources.

I’m probably wrong and would love to be pointed in the right direction so if anyone reads this just let us know.

this clip pretty much sums up my feelings…..

Post Edit: After looking over the previous weeks reading again it makes way more sense and im pretty sure I’m on the right track.
