Hypulp: Hyperlinks in Print I

Posted on 12.03.05 at 03:46 CET

There’s an interesting series of posts at Hypulp about hyperlink metaphors being used in print publications (part 1, part 2 and part 3).
I was just reading a magazine article this morning (amusingly, it concerned usability) and thinking that the way it was pointing to other resources seemed quite clumsy now that we’re used to instant gratification online via a simple mouse click. Then again, I get CMD-F (Find) keyboard shortcut reflexes while reading books.

I have “undo” reflexes when I drop a glass.

For a while I had the feeling I had to switch my TV from a channel to another every once in a while in order to keep the connection active or to prevent the TV to switch onto the screensaver. That was back then when I was on dial up. Now that I am on the DSL this feeling has gone.
