Hypermedia has changed design by simplifying the way people find all types of media. The world wide web has attached strings to books, magazines, newspapers, video, audio and more and brought them back to one spot for people to control it from. You simply search for it on Google for example and it pulls them in for you to sift through. If you get a video when you wanted an article you simply scroll through links or retype your search until you find it. It takes only a few seconds versus actually searching the world (sans web) for the information you want. It has changed the design of the way people search, from scattered to collected.
I think we are better off with it because it doesn't change the information, just gathers it. It lets all people access the same information. This may be harmful because not all information could be official. Also people could start to develop the same designs or work because they all have the same exact resources. It's a stretch, but definitely a possibility to consider. But overall, i think it is very convenient and efficient.
