engelbart hypertext

3/21
lsat week, we learend memex, and Bush's thinking.
and this time, we also learend hypertext which is relative with that of last time.
hypertext means One way that digital media has been understood is as new forms of writing, reading and thinking. and a system that people get information which was wanted by sequence.
this hypertext is similar with dadaism.
for example, a person think one word. and think another one word. consistently he think a word. and then he collect word and make poem. but this poem has no sense.
second, a person choose an article, cut out article.
so they mix and mix. but this cut ups doesn't limited text. voice, sound, image etc. so many things made by this method.
engelbart
he wants to increase man's intellect.
"Man’s population and gross product are increasing at a considerable rate, but the complexity of his problems grows still faster, and the urgency with which solutions must be found becomes steadily greater… Augmenting man’s intellect, …, would warrant full pursuit by an enlightened society…”
as we read that, this world becomes very complex and urgence. so he thinked better, faster access to computer.
main point!
he invented mouse, demo etc.
in that time many people think engelbart's products were poor, no available. but today, we use them perfectly.
