> interactive, animated, had sound, had dimensions

Interaction, animation, sound, and dimensions have their place in the web. That place is in a small percentage of websites. Very small. Flash was possibly a better tool for that small percentage of websites (games and something else I guess?).

I, for one, am glad I can read a fucking blog article these days without it being rendered through an animated page flip which makes the shrill sound of paper tearing each time a page is "turned" with no way to mute.

Yes, flat text suits me just fine.



Well, the new trend is to hijack your scrollbar. You scroll down and things start go left and right. Not much better.

There will always be some retarded "UX" designers for breaking things that work.
