Adobe Flash

History of the Flash Player

This is a website made in flash for the Cuban Missile Crisis

Adobe Flash turned the internet upside down when it came out because it allowed them to have web based video, animation, and interactivity with sites and they also made it to where the site looked the same no matter what the person was using. When the iPhone came out Steve jobs did not allow for flash to be used on them because it was too insecure and resource intensive. But flash was still used for android phones and for Youtube. In 2011, Adobe released a product called Edge Animate. It was used as a new way to make HTML5 content making HTML5 the universally supported service. In 2015, Adobe discontinued Edge Animate and renamed the flash player to animate cc. One company that is still using flash a lot is Facebook. Recently, Google announced that flash will be blocked on chrome unless you go to the settings and turn it off. The future doesn't look so hot for flash content or websites. Currently it is completely dependent on the internet archivists.

Topic Site

Topic Site

I was assigned to make a website over a topic of my choice that I have some connection to. So I started by finding a topic and i chose cherokee indians because I am 1/32 cherokee indian. When making this web site I learned a lot about div tags and finding good information online. I also learned that you need to check to make sure your website uploads. One thing I would have done differently is add another page to show how I relate to the topic. Something I did well was finding good pictures that relate to the topic. This project is good experience for me and will help me with many projects down the road because we had to make it on our own.
