Hypertext is text which is not constrained to be linear.

Hypertext is text which contains links to other texts. The term was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965 (see History ).

HyperMedia is a term used for hypertext which is not constrained to be text: it can include graphics, video and sound , for example. Apparently Ted Nelson was the first to use this term too.

Hypertext and HyperMedia are concepts, not products.

Excerpt from www.w3.org

Perhaps this is something Jaques Fresco and The Venus Project should take into account, when referring to Resource Based Economy.

the French revolution was an era of extreme political
and social change. Revolutionary fervour was applied to time
itself. For a brief period, the French Republic introduced a
decimal time system, with each day divided into ten hours
and each hour divided into one hundred minutes. It was thoroughly
logical and clearly superior to the sexagesimal system.
Decimal time was a failure. Nobody used it. The same could
be said for XHTML 2. The W3C rediscovered the lesson of
post-revolutionary France: changing existing behavior is very,
very difficult.

This is something we must keep in mind.

Jaques Fresco trademark bully?

I am still investigating what´s this alleged trademark claim to the term Resource Based Economics is all about.

Hopefully Jaques and Roxanne acknowledge their mistake and let us know publicly that they regret using one of the current social/legal/monetary system´s most cruel and unfair forms of defence for the perpetuation of egoistic property... copyright/trademark claims. They sometimes forget that their egos must come before the basic needs of humans today. It is very contradictory to have Jaques talk about a Resource Based Economy, where everything is owned by everybody and the values of people would change in order to accept a better coexistence with thy neighbour being more tolerant to differences in culture and ideas; and that the scientific method leading decision making entails to progress; and all of a sudden the Venus Project sues The Promethean Workers Association to allegedly, preserve the correct concept of RBE.What a let down. The resource based economy is not a Jaques Fresco idea, as Jaques himself has stated (paraphrased):"Every invention is based on other´s inventions". So being so closed minded regarding the resource based economy and its implementation(reference to RBEF) is ironic and intolerable.
