I'm sorry, but who says the web platforms of today are "progress?" it's the same re-heated cross-platform "write-once-run-anywhere" pies-in-the-sky as 20-30 years ago. It's just these days it's wearing half-shaved heads and horn rimmed glasses, skinny pants and plaid shirts instead of pony tails and threadbare t-shirts and jeans/shorts with sandals or sneakers.
