The hypertext open source which is a piece of text edited by everyone in the world in real time, was another great hypertext. At first sight I thought that Bent was doing some kind of magic to make the words change. But after I learned that the text is actually edited by everyone, I stopped looking for any form of logical coherence and I just looked up on the screen to see how different people use their respective languages. In a way, it's the perfect window into just how globalization works.

Reflections on hypertexts
Hypertexts are a brilliant way of catching your attention. Just the web-page with some girls laughing, irritating as the sound was, got me curious since there is a story behind every new link. It might not lead to something utterly spectacular but it gets your imagination going. A perfect example of this was Bent's own take on hypertexts in which every word was a hyperlink, linking to a phrase at some point. I think that we had hoped for some wild thing to happen, and it did not. But that is the point of hypertexts, I think. You never know where they will take you.
