I grew up with the Internet so hypertext is where I naturally occur. I even saw physical hypertext in Tokyo. More details are probably irrelevant here. I'm not even putting my distracting face on this page.
This is all about Hypertext.

A brief history of hypertext
The true hypertexts started with computers. Before that were hypertext-like systems of cross-referenced documents, and visionaries describing future hypertexts. Only with electronic information media it became a reality. Electronic format is so natural for hypertexts that the first makers of them didn't even know they were making hypertext.
The term "hypertext" was introduced by Ted Nelson in the 1960s in connection with electronic documents processing. Starting from about the 1960s researchers developed a few independent hypertext systems in universities. In the early 1990s the Web was invented, which is the largest known hypertext.
By now, things have changed only quantatively. The Web has grown to billions of documents, but the links remain as simplistic as ever and brute forces of numbers rule web information processing. No intelligent technologies capable of opening up the real power of hypertext are as yet in sight.
Meanwhile, a lot of things are going on: Semantic Web projects, hypertext conferences, organizations, journals, publication of hypertext fiction, independent research efforts. A new breakthrough is to be expected in the near future.
