So...When I say hypertext, I mean the simultaneous presentation of information and controls such that the information becomes the affordance through which the user (or automaton) obtains choices and selects actions. Hypermedia is just an expansion on what text means to include temporal anchors within a media stream; most researchers have dropped the distinction.Hypertext does not need to be HTML on a browser. Machines can follow links when they understand the data format and relationship types.
Hypertext means text with links in it (which give you further options or actions)
and
Hypermedia means media with links in it (i.e. video, text, pictures) - which give you further options or actions.
Hmmmm..... Maybe radio advertisements that direct you to their website for more information could even be considered as "hypermedia"? I don't think that a strict definition is really needed though. As long as the general idea comes across.
