An expansion of hypertext, hypermedia is also a branching form. Comprised of visual, alphabetic, and audio components, hypermedia performs in dimensions printed formats do not allow. By the late '60s, Nelson realized the problem was not as much the creation of a singular organizing construct, or the individual hyper- unit. The inception of the WWW particularly with its sophisticated search engines does provide a supposition of what such a text-scape might be like, but only partially appeases concerns raised in Nelson's dilemma. Through graphical interfaces, we are able to uniformly locate resources, and view them on personal computers at home, in libraries, offices, and elsewhere.
Cybertext authors create electronic work with numerous other programs.
It may be naive to envision a single coding language somewhere in the future, though it is possible. Today, however, the Web is a predominantly disparate, incomplete, and unorganized series of texts. With such intent, Nelson has aimed to build Xanadu with a conceptual framework satisfactory for indefinite growth. Nelson's conception of text presupposes borrowing amongst texts. What is more important, in any case, is that once a document, whether it is a lab report, a poem, a newsmagazine, a letter to the editor of a newspaper any document is created, it becomes part of a very large general text, accessible to all users of the Xanadu system.
