Concepts, Ideas, Thoughts & Bullsh!t |

I have been involved with the World Wide Web since its conception. The creators of the WWW concept envisioned a tool for the sharing of knowledge through the linking of data points. HyperHistory Online is precisely what they envisioned. HyperHistory.com is an expanding scientific project presenting 3,000 years of world history with an interactive combination of synchronoptic lifelines, timelines, and maps.

A novel synchronoptic concept depicts a full panorama of history in such a way that it will appeal to a cultivated public at large. A true picture of the world would be incomplete if it equates history with the history of wars and politics and neglects all other aspects of life. The addition of scientific, cultural and religious facts and events are therefore a key to a fundamental knowledge of society. A spatial representation of time has obvious educational advantages: here history is no longer learned but viewed.

EDITORS NOTE: Albert Einstein said "never memorize anything you can look up in a book". I subscribe to this concept as it appears so do the authors of HyperHistory Online.

Over 2,000 files are interconnected throughout the site. In addition to that HyperHistory provides several hundred links to the world wide web. The growing site itself contains presently over 50 MB of images and text files, but individual gif files are kept small enough to allow for a quick display.

I love to learn and this is a site for student, teacher and information junkies like myself. We give HyperHistory Online our BEST recommendation. While the interface to this site is good it seems to us that at times it is confusing. Do not let this bit of constructive criticism prevent you from visiting this site. It will be one you will often return to.
