Nate Koechley, Senior Web Developer at Yahoo! Inc. on Graded Browser Support. She concludes the piece with a quote from Tim Berners-Lee:
“Anyone who slaps a ‘this page is best viewed with Browser X’ label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network.”
Yahoo also publish a table that shows the level of support each browser receives.
The internet and the development of the information superhigheway as seen from 1995 via a number of video clips. Interesting to look back at the debate on whether it will have the power to change society, what shape it will take and also concern at the emerging digital divide. Also weird to see the multimedia “kiosks” that were going to change our world which – even at the time – we knew were going to be rendered redundant by the world wide web. One commentator notes that in the future people will be able to “shop from home”.
