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. |

|
In our opinion, this is one of the root causes |
71 |
|
of hypertext disorientation |
