yabut. This is a bit like the argument "guns don't kill people, people kill people". Or radar detectors don't make people speed, they still have that choice. In this case, "flash doesn't make poorly coded, inappropriate interfaces, people do". I know Flash/the gun/the radar detector didn't have a mind of it's own and didn't draw the dancing balony/pull the trigger/push the accelerator, but they all sure feel like enabling technologies to me. In the case of Flash, it enables people who know absolutely nothing about human factors and user interface design, and who haven't taken the time to even attempt to learn any, to build (awful) working interfaces quickly. Call me a Luddite, but enabling people to turn crap out quickly does not seem like a step forward to me. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25321 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
