Photo of phone with recipe for stew

I don't have the heart to remove the photo of the phone from the infobox without finding an appropriate replacement, but it is pretty hilarious to illustrate cybertext with a stock image of a phone with a recipe for stew on it! Maybe somebody can find a better illustration? Lijil (talk) 11:21, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Encyclopedic cybertext?

Can somebody help clarify the last sentence, about how an encyclopedia is clearly a "cybertext"? I'm just not seeing it. I'm taking the term to refer to a work that actually changes depending on the reader and the precise way they read or "operate" it, and aside from a possible vague reference to WP itself, an encyclopedia is generally just a bunch of books, isn't it? Ahh, unless it's referring to a CD/DVD-based encyclopedia... I'll go add that. --Arvedui 01:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

No, I've changed my mind, even that doesn't quite make it a proper cybertext to my understanding of the term. I'm taking it out instead. If someone can figure out in what sense "Clearly, an encyclopedia is a cybertext according to this definition, as well as hypertext." is obviously true, please put it back in with a short explanation! --Arvedui 07:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, it's been 19 years, sorry, I may not be objective, but Wikipedia really often "need" to read contextual linked related Wikipedia pages to get what the current mean, and by doing so you have a non-linear approach as you often read part of Wikipedia page that need other parts too, and you need to actively focus on what is important to you and to which extent you wish to go to get the global picture 176.132.146.44 (talk) 13:18, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

How do you guys feel about the age now? I tried editing it as best I could. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SabaKahn (talk • contribs) 15:23, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
