Hyper = non-linear (by sarah)
I have decided that html which conforms to those standard thingies is the equivolent to the plasmids or little circular bits of DNA that bacteria and microorangisms in general expell which can be taken up and incorporated into other organisms either of the some or different species, phylum and some times even kingdoms.
I'm getting a little confused with URLs here and feel that they should somehow fit into this analogy but that might involve re-reading the chapter I've just read again and I dont really want to do that - oh the folly of reading a book on HTML and CSS straight after finishing on on early life and the evolution of life. I think I might have been thinking about links as well and exactly how they are hyper - websites etc... are non-linear and organisms can share DNA across Kingdoms and even take it up from things that have died leading to non-linear evolution - erm.... my heads hurting now.
This post is complete waffle please ignore it.
