Theodor H. Nelson
- coined the term "hypertext" as 'a body of written or pictorial material interconnected in such a complex way that it could not conveniently be presented or represented on paper.'
- proposed that there were several specific types of hypertext; in this essay he describes on as a complex, reconfigurable, linked structures of information, which can be manipulated at a granularity much smaller (or larger) than the page.
- his vision was a precursor to making "personal information managers useful platforms for thinking and working in a networked world"
