Try not to repost everything and snip that which is relevant to your reply...I've been told some people find it annoying. Don't take this statement meanly cause that's not my intent. Just trying to spare a possible flame at some future date. :-) I do think it's nice when sites support hardware that can't neccesarily benefit from all the latest enhancements. The Web is like television now, and is a tool for information gathering, communication, realtime and otherwise, exchanging files and programs, or even with real video/audio to watch movies and stuff...it's a fast moving change, so might as well accept it. It's only going to get bigger. On Sun, 19 Jul 1998, C. J. Kenneth Tan wrote:
I didn't want to get into this, but I think I might have to get my hands on this, finally. I think someone mentioned what I'm going to say earlier, but I will mention it again. The question, in my opinion, should be "Is the Web a medium for advertising, cheap graphics-filled magazine, or is it for information distribution/sharing?" My answer for that question is the latter -- for information sharing. I do realize that many people will disagree with me on this, and I am certainly not looking for a flame war here. Just an educated discussion. The site must be designed for its purpose. One just can't simply add audio to a site for something like parallel computing theory unless the audio is a real demonstration of parallel computing application, which I think is not common. To design a web site well, requirements analysis and all other software engineering techniques should be applied, either consciously or not.
