If you\u2019re trying to access anything Flash-related today, first off, why? But secondly, it\u2019s probably not working. That\u2019s because Adobe cut off support for Flash<\/a> at the end of 2020, and while it plans to block Flash starting on January 12<\/a>, major browsers aren\u2019t waiting. Beginning January 1, most browsers will block Flash entirely, as will Microsoft in most versions of Windows. Flash is dead, as it should be.<\/span><\/p>\n

If nothing else, Steve Jobs was often ahead of his time and brought about change through touchscreens and other design revolutions. Another notch on his belt is the early doom of Flash. After his highly publicized \u201cThoughts on Flash<\/a>\u201d criticizing the platform, it never really recovered.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s fine! HTML5 essentially replaced Flash years ago, and every major browser supports it. But it does feel like a cultural loss. A decade or so ago, graphic designers spent months mastering Flash to create sites, game<\/a>s, and more. It brought us entertaining content like\u00a0<\/span>Homestar Runner<\/span><\/em><\/a>\u00a0(ok, let\u2019s be honest, Strong Bad), Ishkur\u2019s Guide To Electronic Music<\/a>, and more. Some of those sites still work best in Flash.<\/span><\/p>\n

But they\u2019ll either have to update or get left behind, and even Homestar Runner<\/em> seems to be adapting through its YouTube<\/a> channel. Flash is ultimately an insecure protocol, and we\u2019re better off without it. But it\u2019s ok to remember where the internet started as we look ahead to where it\u2019s going.<\/span><\/p>\n
