What the geeks know: hypertext and the problem of literacy

Recent theories of hypertext usefully emphasize continuity with earlier media; but in the general social environment, this continuity is not well understood, and may even be opposed in some quarters. The paper argues that we should define hypertext as the basis for a new version of general literacy and place greater emphasis on teaching in our agenda for applications and research. KEYWORDS Theory, remediation, archive, literacy, pedagogy.
