Subject: Re: The importance of having Open Principles in Education for our future generations
I could comment at great and tedious length on content locked and lost in proprietary formats I've developed in, not just Flash but Director, Toolbook, Hypercard and Guide. Not to mention all those goodies on videodisc which can no longer be accessed. And that content is barely 20 years old, not even an eyeblink in historical terms.
There's no doubt in my mind: proprietary bad, open standards good, at least in terms of longevity and accessibility. Something that those busting a gut to shove stuff into Storyline, for instance, would do well to bear in mind.
