You don\u2019t know anyone. Suddenly, a friend introduces you to someone cool. That introduction is a hyperlink.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5673\" data-end=\"5824\">On the internet, websites introduce you to other websites.

A small HTML tag, yes\u2014but also a powerful bridge between knowledge, products, people, and experiences.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6067\" data-end=\"6270\">When I first learned about hyperlinks, it felt like magic.
