Cyclic history is one of the four theories of history and it works when events resulted from human action go in a cycle so it never ends. New events, small or large, are always occurring and they return in a cycle so new events are imminent and are ready to occur based on the results of the other event. The Internet really goes well with our belief in cyclic history because the Internet has almost all the information you could possibly want and we can find events in history that are either occurring or about to happen based of that event. People in today’s world have been relying on the Internet more than ever and they have been focusing their attention on computers rather than books all the time like we used to do in the past. This fact is true because it is so much quicker to find historical events on the Internet then taking time to find the perfect book that explains it for you and we can easily see past events that were triggered by other major events. This is why the Internet is so helpful for us to find historical events and that is why it helps us believe in the view of cyclic history.

A hyperlink is basically a URL or a link that is usually highlighted in blue or a different color and it stands out in a piece of text. A hypertext is a specific piece of text that has hyperlinks that can direct a reader to whatever links are available. A hypertext can make it much easier for viewers to access a website with the click of a mouse and they can contain a myriad of websites to choose from. I would say a “hypertext” world will make us more accepting of cyclic history because we could use hypertexts to gain knowledge of historical events and how events are always resulting from a main event. We could use hypertexts to help us grow in knowledge of history and how it works like a cycle and it could potentially make the world more accepting of cyclical history. We could use hypertexts to access information about major events in history and it would not even take long to find because it would only take one click of the mouse. I think hypertexts could potentially help people worldwide accept cyclic history if it could catch on and spread to everyone and if people are willing to use the hypertexts for good, they would no doubt make us accept cyclic history.
