Hypertext vs Linear

Critical thinking is careful and deliberate determination of whether to accept, reject, or suspend judgment.

Critical thinking is the formation of logical inferences.

These two quotes demonstrate my thought process when i form a linear essay. You have to think very carefully and formulate everthing logically to get a good outcome that makes sense. Also, in linear essays we often have to lean towards certain standpoints or present all of them and compare. This, too, is carefully thought out and formal.


Critical thinking is "the examination and testing of suggested solutions to see whether they will work."

This quote, in my perspective, is an accurate statement when constructing a hypertext. You have to test things out a lot of the time to see what fits and what doesn't. This is usually when creating a website and revising. Both the design and the text need to be tested to get a good feel and flow. Hypertexts allow more creativity, ideas can be tested in different mediums.

Critical thinking is "reasonably and reflectively deciding what to believe or do."

This quote is used when making hypertext because a lot of the time you have more of a range of ideas to branch off from. You get to reasonably decide a lot of the website in terms of text, images, etc.
