Is Flash Dead?

Yup.



In a world where technology grows quicker than China's population, we patiently wait for Adobe Flash

to crumble faster than the levees in New Orleans.


There are many reasons to ask the question "Why?"


For starters, we live in an age where cell phones are now computers, hand held video games, and

flashlights before they serve as their intended purpose of being a PHONE!  We are in 'cell phone

zombie mode' more than we like to think.  Most of the major operating systems do not support Flash.

Having Flash stick it out and serve only as a desktop feature makes no sense with how we live in this

day and age.  



Out with the old and in with the new.  HTML5 will ultimately take over Flash to end the question "Is

Flash dead?".  If HTML5 will do what Flash is doing and more, then why not watch Flash enter the

downward spiral?


Now, as a college student and having knowledge of Flash's fate, my major question is:

WHY MUST THEY TEACH ME FLASH 3 OUT OF MY 4 ENROLLED SEMESTERS?!


Don't get me wrong here...I enjoy using Flash and I think it's great but if HTML5 is the new wave then

why are they still pushing Flash down our throats?

Is there something we don't know about Flash's fate?

Why is time spent away from HTML5 if that's where we are headed?


We should expect the inevitable to happen but I guess until that day comes, we must not fully exclude it

and in fact just embrace it because Flash is fun!  

It's too bad it's dead...
