Flash -Jen Elston

Adobe Flash makes content viewed on the web much more entertaining and accessible.  This allows for rich content and application, and adds an element of interactivity.  Flash has many possible advantages on the web.   The addition of flash elements on a web page allow the readers to understand information a lot easier - sometimes even a Q&A that helps the viewers understand the content.  Visual elements are simplified with Flash.  For example, all of the plot markers for a cemetery can be sprawled out with numbers.  The viewer can roll over the area and get more information about the person buried there, depending on the content there.  Anything from the name, DOB and DOD, to a link for more information could be available.  As a consumer of the news, I enjoy Flash applications because they are so interactive and accessible to me.
