<> Keeping the Door Wide Open
As many of you know, I'm in Kabul, Afghanistan through
August, on an assignment with the United Nations. I've
posted more about this assignment on my web site.
This experience in a developing country regarding the
Internet has lead me to believe, more firmly than ever,
in the importance of NOT overloading a web site with
graphics and photos and java script and flash and
whatever, preventing millions of users from really being
able to use a site. To sit here with a relatively new
computer, with supposedly the latest versions of browsers,
and broadband (when it's working), and to still not be able
to access certain extremely high end sites, in order to
find the vital information I need to do my job, is beyond
frustrating.
