On my eLearning blog, I recently predicted the Beginning of Long Slow Death of Flash. The conversation around Flash is an important one for startups and CTOs. Someone said: "I am not sure I am ready to bet on the long slow death of Flash just yet." What does it mean to "place bets" on death of Flash? Do we include Flex or Flash as a delivery technology? I'm not betting that Flash is dead in five years. I'm hedging by NOT betting on Flash.

Flash for mobile is dead. Can Flash for desktops be far behind? That is the big question facing hundreds of thousands of websites after Adobe, maker of the most popular technology for web video and other interactive multimedia features, said earlier this month it would no longer support Flash on mobile browsers, ceding to the newer, feature-rich HTML5 technology that works – and performs better – on most mobile devices.

Instead, the original vision has quietly been realized by Adobe Flash. Site operators (notably, Youtube in 2005) discovered Flash was the best way to get in-browser video. The growth of Internet video cemented Flash’s position as a ubiquitous browser-plug in. Most of my developer friends reject Flash as “ an animation system, with a crappy scripting language “ They were probably right 3-4 years ago, but not any more.

With limited processing power (requests/sec), SANs struggle when faced with flash, the solid-state drive revolution that is on the horizon. A single flash drive worth $3K, with its vulgarly high IOs/sec, will exhaust the processing power of an entire SAN that is worth $500K. We need a new architecture for the coming decades — one that is massively parallel, one that is prepared to manage the Lightning McQueen (flash), but also one that retains the virtues of Doc Hudson (SANs).

In parallel it has denigrated Adobe’s Flash (albeit with some justice) as being insufficient for purpose while establishing a pro-HTML5 position as the ‘best’ way to move forwards. I guess we should thank Apple for forcing the Flash vs. HTML5 issue and then imposing a punitive licensing scheme on their app store… both of which have conspired to catapult HTML5 into the foreground for developments of applications which have web and mobile experiences.
