But instead, genealogists were using location to say, if you want more information, go here in my family tree and here's a link, or here's a folder where I've stored hundreds of photos related to the same thing.

相反，系谱学家使用位置来表示，想要更多信息，请到我的家谱上这里，这里有个链接，或者这个文件夹，我其中存储了数百张与同事物相关的照片。

But before hyperlinks were implemented, every time you wanted to switch to another piece of information on a computer, you had to rummage through the file system to find it, or type it into a search box.

实现超链接之前，每次想计算机上切换到另条信息时，都必须翻遍文件系统才能找到它，或者将它输入搜索框。
