Sam,
 I really like the new WEB2.0 standards. I like watching
music, or HOWto videos on demand. I remember the day, to
see a band, you had to catch Ed Sullivan on a tinny sounding
B&W TV. No more, I can catch The Stones or Rammstein anytime
I want, day or night. Use apps in the cloud, get guitar tab,
social network, or interact with a page, rather than just
static text and pix. I do believe that everyone should follow
'standards' tho. I like the fact that technology moves on.
Of course I'm not a traditionalist nor prone to nostalgia.
I also wouldn't care to plow a field with a mule or water
buffalo, or ride a horse twenty miles to work everyday or
hammer pointy wooden pegs with a rock.

I have several computers made during the 1980's that still work
just fine, even for surfing the internet, but only on web pages
that were created and designed according to the standards of the
good old days - that means mostly text and few graphics and no
JavaScript.

Old computers will last a very long time.

What did not last for very long were the old standards for
creating and designing web pages.

Nowadays there just aren't a whole lot of really nice web pages
out there that still conform to the old standards.

If all the authors of web pages would just simply conform to the
old standards, then there would be very few home computer users
feeling a need to upgrade their computers.
