Etymology

The term 'hypertext' was coined by Ted Nelson in 1965, who envisioned a system of connecting different pieces of information through links. The concept was influenced by earlier ideas of non-linear writing and organization of information. Nelson's ideas were ahead of their time, as the technology required to implement hypertext did not exist until the advent of the internet. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, hypertext became more widely recognized with the development of the World Wide Web. The first web browser, WorldWideWeb, released in 1990, integrated hypertext in a user-friendly manner, allowing anyone with access to the internet to explore vast information networks by simply clicking hyperlinks.
