Another benefit of hypermedia, although one that might not be obvious to the typical visitor, is that a website could change the URI of a resource URIs can change without advertising this to the user. All that is important is that when the user visits a landing page, the URIs referenced by the hyperlinks is current. Therefore, as long as the site continues to publish the correct URI to a resource, the user will always be able to navigate to the correct locationWhen a user clicks a link, the user normally only cares that they will arrive at the correct destination and not worry too much about the URI that got them there. If the link isn't broken then all is good. Therefore, sites are free to change their URIs as long as they allow the user to find what they are looking for. This introduces another import benefit of hypermedia: client/server independence. That is, web servers should be allowed to change as needed and not worry about breaking any client functionality (ie.eg., the web browser client) because the server is always providing the client with current URIs.
