Flash Sucks for Advertisers - The Digital Divide

Presented at HOPE Number Six (2006), July 21, 2006, 10 a.m. (60 minutes)

While the contention is that Macromedia Flash sucks for consumers who can't download Flash, it actually means that the advertisers using it are not getting their message out to those consumers. This will be a discussion of Internet access and The Digital Divide, with emphasis on the Internet's role in special education.
