Second Generation Systems - Introduction The second generation of Hypermedia began in 80s with the arrival of workstation-based research oriented systems like Notecards, Neptune, Intermedia, KMS, Writing Environment, Emacs/INFO, Document Examiner. These systems are similar in concept to the first generation systems. In addition, they supported graphics or animation nodes and they had more advanced user interfaces. In contrast to first generation systems second generation are designed to support one user or a small group of users. These research oriented systems were followed in next years by a number of systems running in platforms like PC and Macintosh. These systems which include Guide, HyperTies, Hypercard are more limited in functionality and scope than the workstation-based systems but in general have quite the same capabilities with them.
