Flash Anniversary

The article in which I chose to write about is titled, “Flash Marks Tenth Anniversary“ by David A. Utter. The article focuses on the August 8th anniversary of he Flash Program. On the August 8th, Flash celebrated its 10th year of production. The program started as an Illustrator program for tablet PC’s and has no become the most popular way to embed audio and video content on the World Wide Web.
The author basically states the facts of the anniversary, and a brief history of the Flash program. Figures from a NPD Online survey cited Adobe claim a penetration of almost 98 percent of the global personal computer market. The author also states how Flash has become a choice of developers and content providers in a very broad fashion. He says that the adoption of the program into a broader range of applications may be due to the fact that it has received various changed throughout the years.
The addition of the scripting engine is one of the greater improvements that can be linked to the increase in usage of the program. ActionScript and video support also play an important role in this. This is especially useful for websites such as youtube that need to embed video files. Also the increase in usage of broadband Internet helped the program take off as well.
Many professionals in the field have stated that they believe users of AJAX will all begin to ditch the old methodology for the Flash. I think that this is most likely true, since Flash is basically taking over the Internet. Sooner or later, Flash will be implemented in almost every aspect of the Internet.
