     This week's readings really opened my eyes as I didn't realize how much I used hypertext in the past in school and everyday life.I find hypertext to be a great tool for students to use especially for projects needing a lot of information and external sources. This is a way to learn about certain things within an article that can help them discover a deeper meaning of anything. Using hyper links can help expand our thinking and create a useful tool for all. 

    The question asked in my head a lot was why are these hypertexts important and useful to us now and here is what I found to wander that question, Hypertexts allow us to access information easier swell as find different sources needed without the manual labor of going and searching of them. Hypertexts also make it a lot easier to organize large amounts of information like  Websites, blogs, and digital encyclopedias which rely on these hypertext to categorize and connect information logically, in which makes it easier for people  to follow these ideas.

    These hypertexts all are to attract a specific audience to take them to another document or example from the original reading. This is key because some people can't focus on one text for more than a couple minutes. I think hypertexts are beneficial and useful tools. We use hypertext on a daily bases whether it be through social media like instagram, the tags and hashtags and market links we see in our daily life. These hypertext are more common then they sound. Another example where these hypertexts appear are in online shopping. Hypertexs are important to to the internet just as much as they are towards students. When I was first reading these articles I thought to myself when have I used this and what is a hypertext? Now that I know what they are I can strongly say that I use them everyday.
