Are non-linear reading spaces or linear reading spaces more clear for the reader?

This article explains how we got to this web we have today full of unlimited use and information. As explained in the article, the intention of the web was never to have so much information available so quickly, rather have necessary information that is thoughtful with a plethora of well researched material. However, now we are left with so much information that most of the time scholars would admit to be a high percentage of the material false. If information was harder to get then the non-linear reading space would give someone all well researched truths instead of clicking through millions of contradicting articles. I do think that the linear reading spaces gives the reader an opinion to interpret for themselves what is bad and good information. Although, the non-linear reading space gives a reader all the information needed about a certain topic in the paper, for example a definition of a word and the article come together not separately of dictionary.com and wikipedia. It is a complicated topic but both have pros and cons that can be discussed over and over, unfortunately as we live in 2015 we must sort out the bads and goods of the linear reading space.
