An Evening with the Inventor of Hypertext: Theodor Holm Nelson
When: Thursday April 3, 2008.
Where: Room 113, Mineral Resources Building, Evansdale Campus.
"The computer field has accepted an ancient definition of documents and
locked it down. They think paper is rightful just because it's customary.Indeed, today's
systems simulate paper under glass: you can't write on it or connect to it. There is no
connection of quotations to their origins-- a fundamental issue widely ignored. There
are no authorial aids except those which enforce hierarchy (outliners). And today's
hypertext systems,including the Web, embed connections so that none can be added by
others.We seek to correct these errors with more general forms of structure:parallelism,
cross-connection and interpenetration, implementing the openly-defined transliterary
data structure in a different kind of 3D (folding space)."
