Technology Enhancements and the World Wide Web


            Adobe flash, which is also referred to as Macromedia Flash, is that type of software and multimedia platform, which is greatly used in forming animations, graphics, games, and other rich Internet application programs. These programs are played, executed, and viewed in the Adobe Flash Player. Moreover, this Adobe Flash is also being used in the streaming media and supports other multimedia contents on different web pages. It provides a greater quality of graphics, drawings, and other animations as well. The best feature of Adobe Flash is that it also provides the feature of bidirectional streaming of video as well as audio. It creates the flash animation with the help of object-oriented language, which is known as Action Script. The Adobe Flash Player, similarly, enables Windows, Linux, OS X, and other smartphone devices to access flash contents (Reimers et al., 2007).
             History of Adobe Flash.
             Jonathan Gay was the first person to have developed an application called SmartSketch. From that application called SmartSketch this flash was originated. Afterwards, flash was published by Charlie Jackson, who founded Future Wave Software. Initially, SmartSketch was used as a type of drawing application, particularly for such computers, which run on the Pen Point Operating System. Thus, these were also regarded as pen computers. However, due to failure of Pen Point in market SmartSketch was introduced for the Mac operating systems and Microsoft Windows. .
             With the passage of time there was a spate increase in popularity and usage of the Internet, which entailed Future Wave to add a cell animation editing into its drawing features of SmartSketch. Therefore, for further promotion, Future Wave collaborated with Abode Systems, and offered it the application of Future Splash in 1995, which Adobe Systems rejected. Nonetheless, in year 1996, Micromedia acquired Future Splash and released it as Flash. Since then it has become a part of Micromedia.
