One of biggest news in this year for me was farewell to Flash Player. Because Flash contents was trigger to get my interest to internet and it’s kind of dream around early 2000. Some special site was made by Flash to be interactive with user’s mouse operation. Top web creator generated impressive site to get user attention, it let me be motivated to join internet industry. Also I made some flash site with action script 3.0 by referring those fantastic contents.
Needless to say, turning point for Flash contents was Apple’s direction for supporting Flash. Jobs decided to not support Flash contents on iOS/Safari when iPhone was getting first device of mobile early 2010s. After that, main technology for rich web contents has been shifting to HTML5/Javascript.
Final update for Flash Player had be made by Adobe to kill Flash Player at 8th Dec 2020.
I deeply appreciated all contributor for Flash to make wonderful experience in my life, but it may be just a page of long internet history. Hope we can make more attractive content on internet with advanced technologies.
