To the death of Flash? Group dedicated to ending Flash web development

A group called Occupy Flash is trying to bring Flash to it's end with expediency. Even though Adobe has severely crippled Flash's potential with it's recent decision to end work and support for mobile Flash. The web development platform was certainly doomed at that point, but outdated technologies have a way of lingering on within the web, which is why a group of passionate developers have created a campaign to kill Flash development.

Why is Flash obsolete?

Flash has been pitted against a more contemporary web development technology HTML5 and has lost the war. Apple has certainly championed the battle by refusing to support Flash on it's ground-breaking mobile platform--the iPhone OS. Many web and mobile developers have criticized the Flash platform for it's instability, inefficiency, and security short-comings. Yet, it's rival, HTML5, has encapsulated many of the capabilities that used to define Flash for development online.

The removal of Flash in no way signifies the downfall of Adobe as an Internet leader. Adobe has also begun to embrace HTML5. Additionally, it's investments in content management, analytics and creative software still places Adobe in a true leadership position for online advancement.
