Remarkability of True Interaction

The Internet has changed immensely since its beginning. Way back, there were MUDs. Multi-User Dungeons, they're something like today's WOW. Today people still write them, but the feel is different. They can use hyperlinks instead having to type commands, and instead of typing commands they type out the game itself. The difference then is that the hyperlinks allow people to choose actions or methods as appropriate to the objects. So what this means, is that every link can mean there are several associations. So instead of a traditional wiki, or any other kind of specific link due to the structure, it's more flexible, you can have several. This can be more simply done, or it can be as a full-on game with various puzzles being built into the structure of the different objects. So the data can be active.
