I'm quite happy with how the web platform has proven to be powerful and flexible enough time and again to stay relevant. Javascript is probably doing some nasty (but well-animated) things on Flash's grave, meanwhile HTML is annoying the newest W3CWG drafts with that they-wanted-to-replace-me-with-word story. The web needs interactivity and without a powerful open platform it's going to be 2 or 3 incompatible, non-free silos. No links & nothing too abnormal please – not one piece if information outside of some AOL/MS/Apple/Google-controlled curated marketplace.
