    Had a long conversation yesterday with a friend about flash. Was getting kinda nostalgic for the creative era it led to especially when compared to what the web has become today.

    The movement against flash is, in my opinion, probably one of the best case studies of the mob effect ever.

    • I like how your name is Steve Jobs as well! I agree, it was very floored but it was also very creative. It could have been bigger than it was (as software tool)mugwart
    • Absolutely, Everyone reacted to it's alleged slowness on mobile as if it was never going to improve. Jobs said no and everyone fell in line.CyBrainX
    • And we still don't have a replacement.sted
    • please, don't act like the iPhone was the only phone out at the time ... Flash was running on all non-Apple phones at the timemonospaced
    • Adobe simply stopped working on it, despite it running on Android devices. Didn't help that Jobs was against it, but that's not the only reason it diedmonospaced
    • sorry SteveJobs, nothing I wrote here has anything to do with what you are saying ... I wasn't part of the movement, but I certainly agree it was beneficial :)monospaced
    • Steve Jobs was right

    • @formed ... Apple was the underdog back then ... Flash was available on Android, and it was a piece of flopping shit ... that's why it diedmonospaced
