The Future of the Internet

Soon, a bunch of horribly designed, ugly websites will be popping up all over. This is because of the many people taking a so-called "Web Design" class who will soon finish. Now, I'm sure there are web design classes that don't teach old, archaic techniques, but still . . .

In Mesa Public Schools students of the web design class are taught to:

• design their web pages for one browser (guess which)
• use markup that represents style, not structure
• use tables for layout
• not use PNG graphics because "they aren't supported"
• make their sites generally ugly
• kill innocent civilians

Okay, maybe not that last one, but the others are true.

The thing is, these kids think they know how to design webpages now. So, of course, they'll find a way to put them online. And get pirated copies of Dreamweaver.
