I'm currently studying New Media Design, which is proving to be largely about putting as much fluff into pages as possible. The more I look at Flash websites, the more I'm amazed at how little content there often is, and how frustrating they can be compared to a plain HTML page. Okay, the graphics are awesome, but I don't really like the trade-off with usability on many sites.
I took Web Design and Implementation recently, and I was appalled at the reactions of my teammates on our term project. Everyone was so distressed that the teacher wasn't letting us use Flash! Maybe because this was a class about implementing things like CSS and JavaScript?
Sometimes I wonder if I'm in the right major, because I like good ol HTML pages better.
