Editing HyperCard (section)

===World Wide Web===
HyperCard influenced the development of the Web in late 1990 through its influence on [[Robert Cailliau]], who assisted in developing [[Tim Berners-Lee]]'s first Web browser.<ref>[http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/People.html People involved in the WorldWideWeb project]</ref> Javascript was inspired by HyperTalk.<ref>Dr. Axel Rauschmayer, [http://speakingjs.com/es5/ch03.html Speaking JavaScript: An In-Depth Guide for Programmers] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181226141123/http://speakingjs.com/es5/ch03.html%0A |date=December 26, 2018 }} (O'Reilly, 2014)</ref>

Although HyperCard stacks do not operate over the [[Internet]], by 1988, at least 300 stacks were publicly available for download from the commercial [[CompuServe]] network (which was not connected to the official Internet yet). The system can link phone numbers on a user's computer together and enable them to dial numbers without a modem, using a less expensive piece of hardware, the Hyperdialer.<ref>{{cite magazine| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5z4EAAAAMBAJ&q=%22hypercard%22+compuserve&pg=RA1-PA37| title=HyperCard:The First Eight Months| magazine=[[InfoWorld]]| date=11 April 1988| page=37| volume=10| issue=15| first1=Denise| last1=Greene| first2=Doug| last2=Greene}}</ref>

In this sense, like the Web, it does form an association-based experience of information browsing via links, though not operating remotely over the TCP/IP protocol then. Like the Web, it also allows for the connections of many different kinds of media.
