PROBLEMS
READING WEBSITES
The Internet is presently in an open source environment
where there are published standards but no means of enforcement. Many tools
that are used to create web pages do not adhere to a standard in terms of
basic html, and web pages have become much more than static pages with
browsers requiring many embedded programs and constant updating to maintain
compatibility with the complex array of content delivered through a
browser. It ranges from plain text to
all manner of multimedia in many different forms.
Technology is always on the march, and as we move
forward and digitize everything we need to consider and preserve access. Thus
we are still at the point where hard copies (e.g., books) are still the only
means for retaining information for posterity. |
