Flash and Silverlight are two things that are generating the wave of the future in web technologies. This site uses Flash to show a bit about energy usage and such. That’s good and all, but I’m more interested in the effects and how they are skillfully used to demonstrate and teach. Reading text, no matter where, can often be a drag, but add some visualization and most of us can learn in a snap. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? GE’s site page here does a good job of helping to visualize the effects of energy conservation to give us a better idea of the impact that it has.
One day, when I’ve made some serious improvements on my design, animation, and ActionScript skills, I will make something cool like this for our own site, say, one that shows places that we have traveled to on an interactive map or something. Until then, I’ll just admire the coolness of sites like this.
