2.2. General problematic
2.2.1. Since linking from one source to another is simple and immediate, ppl can cover lots of information quickly.

2.3.1. Reasons
2.3.1.1. People digress and get distracted because of prevalence of other information sources. Ths phenomena os known as "embedded distraction".

2.4.3. Navigating web sites
2.4.3.1. The core behaviour of navigation happens in a cycle of prediction, reorientation and habituation:
2.4.3.1.1. Habituation: While interacting with a web site, ppl become acustomed to its navigation mechanism and overall system. Experience with other sites is also carried over.
2.4.3.1.2. Prediction: From patterns of navigation within a web site and cues that provide scent of information, such as link labels and link position, people predict the atributes of destination pages. They anticipate what comes next while navigating.
2.4.3.1.3. Reorientation: Once a new page is reached, ppl familiarize themselves with it. Reorientation occurs. The navigation on the new page now becomes incorporated into the navigator's model of the site, and the cycle begins again.
