Things outside the UK are incredibly weird ;) South Koreans are by and wide incredibly web-savvy early adopters who love new tech and the web. But their major banks made all their web security entirely dependent on proprietary ActiveX features, effectively forcing a cultural dependency on legacy IE for security. Which is ironic, to say the least. In a lot of southern Africa, serious home Internet infrastructure just never took off — but mobile telephony tends to be much more affordable, leading to a culture where most web browsing is done through WAP-enabled feature phones (let's see your designer's original idea work for THAT). Observations like this, along with the growth in disparately-specced smartphones usage for casual browsing in the West, generally reinforce my sense of profound ignorance as to what most peoples' experience of the web actually is, and reinforce my faith in the responsive web design philosophy and the 320andUp framework. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
