Not that I am trying to be exclusive or pompous, but when you start allowing people who know nothing about web page design or development to design or develop web pages, you get web pages designed or developed by people who know nothing about the process. I think it is a dangerous trend to try to make all technology available to everyone.
As a case and point: The professional secreatry is all but dead. Because the word processor is now available to everyone, everyone is expected to use it. Therefore, you now have middle executive types spending twice as long to develop documents at 3 times the cost with 1/2 the effectiveness because they really don't know how to write. Specialization is not always a bad thing. Is it so horrible to expect that if someone wants to use a technology, they actually learn how to use it. Just my $0.02. Robert J.
