The Internet got less fun with the disappearance of Flash.

True, but also a lot faster. At least, until client-side frameworks hit the scene, where one was forced to download 500kb of framework to render 5kb of text.

I recall, back in the late 90s, sitting for almost 3 minutes for a simple flash-based website to download over dial-up. That was painful.

  • I remember early 2000s growing up my mum would show me animated greeting cards people were sending us. Truly a magical time.
