Not knowing your profession, although we know you are not a developer, but you could be an AI professor, it is hard to answer the second part of your question. For the first part, consider this the Smart Phone of this age. You will need to

Great answer, but rather than throw out all CSS, I would rather keep formatting, but change color. Anything in text that is in the grey spectrum to black. Background to either white or black, maybe other primary colors are acceptable. Kno
