"It happened so fast...It happened in a Flash!" Remember when Adobe acquired Flash? And now look whats happening...no one seems to want to use it. Why is this?! Well firstly its because it takes too long to load Flash rather than JavaScript or HTML 5. Also Flash just takes up so much memory on servers and it really isn't all that great of a program. I mean don't get me wrong, I learned action script so I could program in Flash, but at the same time I always wanted a better solution. With HTML 5 Flash has/is become/becoming secondary. Steve Jobs decided he didn't even want flash on the iPhone which really declared that the end of Flash was near. Plus when Android declared that they would have Flash in 2.1 and up, the tech community was like awesome, but then we saw the product. It was slow, it was buggy, it was close to useless. Although Flash on Android has improved it is still not quite up to par...Moreover, more and more people are using their phones as web surfing devices and if Flash can't work right on mobile devices then a better a solution will take its place, which is what happens in the tech world. If something doesn't work in a situation it is replaced, and eventually everyone starts adopting it. Much like Chrome ehhhh? So we shall see what happens, I'll try to keep you guys posted.
What is your opinion...is it the end of Flash?
