Kindle Notes & Highlights
What we are seeing with HTML5 will, a few years from now, be the obvious second major inflection point in the evolution of the web platform. If Ajax took the Web from its childhood to its teenage years, HTML5 is the web platform coming into young adulthood, full of both idealism and restlessness, grounded by experience and perspective.
We had no choice at the time, of course. If the Web was going to survive, it had to move forward, even if we didn’t like who was driving it or how they drove; some progress was better than none at all. Thankfully, the web community now sees, in HTML5, that with many drivers going in many different directions, the diversity of thought and experimentation will lead to a more robust and more impactful web platform.
