HTML
Web pages are written in hypertext, this is not because the text moves quickly, but rather because it can interact (a little) with the reader. A book (or a Word document) will always stay the same each time you read it; but hypertext is meant to be easily changed and manipulated so that it could ultimately be dynamic.
