No I don't think a "hypertext" world would make us more accepting of cyclic history. Cyclic history is the theory which dictates that the major forces that motivate human actions return in a cycle. Hypertext is text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references (hyper links) to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by the click of a mouse. I don't think the use of a computer helps us to accept this theory. I think the internet and other online resources help us understand information about the world and other important facts.Using hypertext though, can help give us information quickly and easily but I don't think that it can fully change the way we think and what we believe in. Hypertexts would give us more information about cyclic history and make us understand it better, but wouldn't convert our beliefs in it and wouldn't make a person accept it more.
