The problem with web organizations is that you can get easily lost in them—just as you
might in the world you're exploring in the example. Without any overall structure to the
content, figuring out the relationship between where you are, where you're going and,
often, where you've been, is difficult. Context is difficult, and often the only way to find
your way back out of a web structure is to retrace your steps. Web structures can be
extremely disorienting and immensely frustrating if you have a specific goal in mind.
