GG,
For security reasons within web browsers, the servers can only do so much
interactivity with the client without the actual client's intervention.
There is Flash, ISML, and other multimedia technologies which strive to
solve such questions. Also, alternative file formats (PNG instead of GIF
and JPG images) are being developed (Standard Vector-based Graphics) to
alleviate the bandwidth issues.
Although there is JavaScript, client-side installations of Java applets
and ActiveX controls, any alternatives would realistically increase traffic
by sending more client-server requests for certain information (processes to
take place), the actual data files, and subsequent client-server requests
that may need to be taken.
Then again, it would be a great alternative to the industry, eh!
