<div dir="ltr">Ah, but don't forget that a good majority of the streaming media out there is flash-based. It's not all flashy menus and pretty animations. It does actually have a useful purpose too!<div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I am inviting comments OFF list if you do not agree my comments are valid here.<br>

Flash is implying that you need that level of ADD/ADHD<br>
blinky/shiny/strobing attributes.<br>
While leaving a distinct unvoiced projection that web content NOT so<br>
"busy" is less desirable. And that alone would be potential grounds<br>
to shun Flash on general principle. Were it not for the sad truth that<br>
our world HAS become closer to a "Crack Baby" level of stimulation<br>
impairments. A combination of attention span between events at a<br>
historical low and expectations of video game response times from<br>
websites. Click and the picotimer is running. Fail to serve up events<br>
and you lose that person.<br>
<br>
Which makes for Zeno races between soft/hardware and the broadband<br>
providers. What we used to access was thru 300 baud modems and even<br>
that buffered to a Usenet spool HD. And we had a vast number of<br>
intelligent discussion forums. Yes- there WAS a lot of crap infesting<br>
odd sub domains like Alt. and Soc. and some Rec.<br>
<br>
But there was also a basic IQ test to participate. Flash etc is the<br>
polar opposing experience so to speak. Flat text Vs Animated embedded<br>
video. And while flat text is open to non sighted folks or semi-AI<br>
readers- Flash is a seeming deliberate disenfranchisement<br>
