My recollection of flash, it was one of the first wonder tools of the internet. As a developer in the late nineties the internet in general struggled to be as dynamic as desktop software or other traditional mediums. So when flash showed up, it all changed. Interface could be created to improve usability. Games could be great. Ads could be attention getting, dynamic, and fun. Artist like Odd Todd created art based exclusively on this format. This was all new.

Over the last couple of months you may have heard some rumbling about Net Neutrality and how currently some courts, some members of the FTC, and internet providers wish to limit Net Neutrality. First let us defined Net Neutrality. According to Wikipedia Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, and modes of communication. Yawn. Why is that important? It is pretty simple when you understand the workings of the internet like those of us in the profession. Every start up, every boutique concepts, every website for that matter has a promise on the Internet. The playing field is level. Not in marketing. Not in brand. But in one very critical way, access. Anybody who has access to the internet has access to that website. This is important for the Internet's ability to innovate, grown, and prosper. By way of example, let's pretend it 1995 all over again. And a small little company out of San Jose, California is starting something totally different. They are starting a brand new type of website. A website where anybody can auction off anything. This website got a lot of attention and grew to a 15 Billion dollar business. You are all probably familiar with Ebay. Okay so let's remove net neutrality and see all the possible problems Ebay could have had.
