61    In several hypertext systems today, following a link means a *disruptive* change
62    in the user's workflow, replacing the current context (e.g., a Web page) with an
63    entirely different one.
64    This is partly caused by the dominant graphical user interface paradigm
65    (developed in the 70s at Xerox PARC; see, e.g., [kay93smalltalk]_) in which *pag
66    es*
67    are shown in overlapping, rectangular, unconnected viewports (windows).
68    In this paradigm, following a link can only create a new window
69    or replace the contents of the current window.
70    In our opinion, this is one of the root causes
71    of hypertext disorientation
