The way in which the World Wide Web is presented on popular infotainment type media is highly important to the publics perception of it, and hence its accessibility. In that vein, the Web was recently portrayed in a popular comedy series recently in the U.K. The character in question created his first Web page... what did it consist of? Lots of animated GIFs and very noisy background images. However, the punchline was: "You'd think all of those moving pictures, and noisly background sounds would be annoying...but they aren't", with the rest of the family looking horrified. In other words, maybe the world is starting to catch on that accessibility of the Web is important after all... The characters later attempts were very interesting, and I may actually try to emulate these, but in an accessible format, just to see if it is possible or not... Kindest Regards, Sean B.
