Will a "Hypertext" World Make us More Accepting of Cyclic History? 

I think that if we lived a "hypertext" world, we would accept the theory of cyclic history a lot more. Hypertext is when you click on a link on a website that leads you to another website, creating a cycle of links and websites that you can look at. This is a great example of living in a cyclic history kind of world because a hypertext will lead you to another event, but eventually you will come back to the first website that you were on, just like events in history. In history, there are a lot of cycles that occur. One of the major evens of cyclic history is the cooling and heating of the Earth and global warming. There have been a lot of times in history were the temperature of the Earth in the northern hemisphere is very hot in the summer, but very cold in the winter. This is a good example of cyclic history because the weather is always repeating itself, like it is in a cycle. I think that a "hypertext" world would make us a lot more accepting of cyclic history because hypertext is a lot like a cycle, so we would be familiar with what cyclic history really is. Being familiar with this theory of history is the first step onto accepting it. Because of how similar cyclic history and living a "hypertext" world is, it is easy to be aware and accept cyclic history and how it works.
