As the resolution of cell phones rapidly escalates I find myself wondering
how much longer media queries can be useful. Phones will soon have the
same nominal resolution as desktop monitors, and yet still be tiny by
physical comparison.
Increasing resolution does in itself not create any real problems. We
all want sharper and more detailed images, regardless of their size, and
as viewing-distance vary with screen/window size we can pretty much
deliver what the end-users want/need by targeting both their actual
resolution and screen/window size. Media Queries don't have to play but
a small role here, for which they in my opinion are quite adequate in
their present form.
Aren't media queries, as they now are a flawed system, heading for a high
speed crash? Or do I misunderstand how this works?
Media Queries are "incomplete" for optimal control, but when applied
well - for instance by not locking everything down to the same units -
it isn't all that hard to keep it all together and deliver our designs
across the "resolution/size" landscape - now and well into the future.
If so--if a technology change is indeed looming--will CSS be part of the
ultimate solution?
There will always arrive new "solutions". Some may be seen as
improvements, and may actually work well in a number of cases.
As long as CSS gets improved upon to solve real-world cases, CSS will be
used by most as the base for delivering designs.
I do not see any "ultimate solutions" - with or without CSS - in the
near future that will cover all cases to perfection, and so far I
haven't found the need for one either... :-)
