Observe: In this prezi, the ideas flow into each other one after the other, and are presented to the reader in a logical order that he or she can follow. However even though the ideas are presented in a logical sequence the physical action of moving from one idea to the next in the prezi is somewhat random, as is the size and orientation of the words. The prezi not only use quotes but also statements from the creators. This prezi also uses pictures and a video along with the written aspect.
Analyze: This prezi does not have a real argument to it, its main point is to explain the concept of hypertext to its viewer. The points addressed in the prezi explain what hypertext is as well as what it offers and how it is used. The presenters tried to argue that hypertext is a large improvement, being able to directly link one material to another.
Questions:
Where did this idea come from, as in what brought about the idea of connecting texts and ideas?
Can Hypertext worsen an argument by linking to an irrelevant piece of writing?
Along with Hypertext is there the risk that the reader continues to go from page to page and never returns to finish the original?
Is Hypertext a new thing, or just an easier way of doing something we had in the form of an index?
Does Hypertext change the way we write or does it just offer a new way to read?
Can it be said that this prezi is a form of hypertext, bringing you from media to media and idea to idea?
