The Competition War!
The war of different software keeps brewing, HTML5 versus Flash. Which one will be left standing?
Currently a lot is being said on both sides in statements and blogs. They are using words like “buggy” and “killer”. Not only are large companies pushing for one, and not the other, individuals from all over the world are favoring one, and hoping for “doom” for the other.
These technology programs are not really bad or great. They are only useful for certain circumstances. If they do not serve that specific purpose, then they have little value. We misinterpret the quality of software, as it is only good if we are using it to its full potential.
All software and hardware has gone through a growing cycle. Flash in the early days struggled with updates, but now blends in well with newer technology. HTML5, and soon to be HTML6 will grow with the blending of video, text and graphics. Both flavors of this technology will learn from each other, and grow to become better!
No matter which platform a web site utilizes, people just want it to work. The functionality of the program is the final determining factor. Let’s stop the bashing and build the web site with tools that work!
Most companies improve with competition or fail to exist. I am sure that will happen with these software companies too.
