Hyperlink.

The prefix “hyper-” derives from the Greek prefix “ὑπερ-” which means “beyond” or “over”. For over 30 years this technology has had tremendous influence. Links (also known as hyperlinks) are really important — they are what makes the Web a web. HTML would not be what it is without it.

It is possible to admire some of the history and the links at hand, from the 1989 proposal by one of the creators of linked documents as we experience it. Just think of how many important events have been mediated through hyperlinks!

Links sometimes no longer work. But the idea of the links of old web, the link concept will never be forgot. It is part of the fabric of the technological world.
