response to chelsea'd stitch bitch questions

1) What does Jackson mean when she says, "Hypertext leaves you naked with yourself in every leap...?"
what she means by this is that when you are using hypertext, every aspect of that writing is viewable. it can be entered into at any point and have any meaning that is within the text ripped out. it leaves you naked with every leap because all hypertext can be exposed the same way. there is no way to controy the order that a reader readsa a hypertext. thet can start at one point, get bored, just jump somewhere else. it leaves you naked because the writer has no control over the hypertext. once it is written and published it can't be controlled.
