Just a brief rant, old-codger-style.

1 – Usability gurus never have usable – or bearable – web pages.

2 – Web pages are generally getting uglier and they all look the same.

3 – All those technologies that were supposed to transform the web – like vrml and flash – never became better than the rubbbish they started out as. Well nigh nobody uses them. The few sites that do are almost always horribly annoying.

4 – Why can’t we have holosuite web pages? Seems simple enough.

Lots of tv programmes this week claiming that Star Trek inspired all sorts of fantastic tech advances. Even if this silly claim were true- guess what – we wanted the beam-me-up device and the holosuite. Nobody would have asked for the mobile phone ffs.
