This feature is absolutely essential to enable fine-grained browsing, sharing, connecting the dots, interacting with and editing the contents. > [!highlight]+ Sat May 25 2024 13:36:04 GMT-0400 > > For the most part, the prevailing paradigm has remained largely based on linking to a file, and then searching and scrolling through the files, which misses the true promise of new media to more closely align with how our brains think and connect ideas. Our minds do not think inside of rectangles, pages, files or apps. We think in concepts. We dart around our minds fluidly in whatever level of detail suits the moment, connecting the dots, sparking aha moments. To put the concepts in files or discussions, we have to go into apps and translate thought into words and images --this is a very cumbersome medium. Information technology could be augmenting our collective human intellect at the speed of thought in powerful new ways, instead of automating how we used to think and work in a linear paper-based world. > [!highlight]+ Sat May 25 2024 13:36:04 GMT-0400 > > "Open" for vendor independent and interoperable, "document" of any media or mix of media (text, graphic, video, audio, animation, commentary, email, etc.), and "hyper" for enhanced, dynamic, interactive, as well as fine-grained linkability. > [!highlight]+ Sat May 25 2024 13:36:04 GMT-0400 > > 1.
