Yes, I think that a “hypertext” world will make us much more accepting of cyclic history. We would have to accept that what we are doing is actually making cyclic history. By clicking on the link, you have already started the cycle. When the next person clicks on the link, they are continuing the cycle. A hypertext world is one of the best examples of what cyclic history is all about. If we began to use hypertexts instead of books or textbooks, I think that people would also be more willing to read and learn about history. People would not feel that there were boring pages to read, so they would probably click on the link because of curiosity. It would be nice to live in a hypertext world, because it would also make our way of keeping track of history much more simple. Because of all the technology that is now basically taking over our world, we could easily document our history. I think that this would be a perfect way to begin a new century. I do not see why people would not be accepting to this form of cyclic history if technology is such a big part of our world. I am glad that I got to think about this, and hope that this type of history might be accepted in the future.
