Reading: Lister p. 27 summary

Multiliniarity allow the users opinion to be more greatly influenced. In the past, one may have discussed their opinions by referencing to theorists in a way that structures their own opinion. However, with the multiliniarity of hypertext we now have freedom to choose what order we view texts and how much we choose to take from them. Although this may lead to a more balanced opinion, we also need to take into consideration its misleading qualities. The texts misinterpretation can influence ones opinion in a negative manner - rendering a reputable source less solid and therefore dismissed. For example, if there is one true text written extensively and clearly by a theorist, yet hundreds of forums posted by the general public on the same topic, there is a good chance one may be mislead by its content.
