The 90's called and want you to know about this cool new toy called "the world wide web", where you can click on a specially marked word (it's called a "link" in Internet jargon, I'm told) and go to a different page which talks about that word.

Not to be confused with page-view-driven faux-journalism where the actual article itself is broken into 17 pages of two paragraphs each in order to spam you with advertisements.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" and all that guff.
