KMS

Please work with KMS and the Hypertext Compendium (HTC). You will need to work with video and the X Window System. Note that this is an important example of a hypertext system and well-crafted hyperbase. Using them, please find the articles about Intermedia under the Systems topic.

In one of these articles is a discussion of how hypertext supports non-lineal thinking, important cognitive styles, and in particular how Intermedia promotes pluralistic thinking. Send the instructor a few comments from students about this.

Another article in the HTC is by Meyrowitz in which he gives challenges that he hopes will be met by 1991. Please tell the instructor in brief what challenge 14 was, mention what page in the Haan et al. article relates most closely to this, and say if you think this challenge has been met yet. Please explain your rationale.
