In the 90s people were just worried about delivery. Connection speeds were slow, the browsers were less capable, standards were fragmented, online interactive media was expensive. People just had to figure it out, and they did.
Now those problems are gone. The big problem now is people. Most people writing the code to deliver content online are over paid and grossly incapable. Maybe if you give them 150mb in dependencies, 10x more time, and lots of false praise they can deliver a few lines in text using a giant framework.
What’s next in the coming 30 years? Putting text on screen in a web browser is becoming far too expensive. Businesses will have to consider their options, like alternate formats. One thing we do know is that they will not train their employees unless all other options are exhausted.
