I'm so conflicted on this. The web's "basic"-ness and limitations also made it easier for laypeople to grasp and build on and contribute to, which I'm not sure we'd have gotten to with different longer-term goals or more complex imaginative constructs... hard to say.

Part of the reason addresses + hypertext worked as a model was the simplicity of it all. You can fit that concept in your head entirely with room to spare. Not so sure with something more malleable, complex, functional, thoughtful. Sometimes thoughtful is thought-full.

Wait, don’t people create hypertext regularly by writing in wikis, github, twitter, blogs?
