RWD: Galaxy Gear Hacked to Browse Web

Posted

Galaxy-Gear-006-Set1-Front_Six

Going through my feeds this morning, I came across a link to a story on Engadget talking about how the Samsung Galaxy Gear was hacked to browse the web. With this, another screen/device that can view websites enters the fray, making Responsive Web Design as important as ever.

Over the summer I wrote an article called, The Web Designer’s Guide to Google Glass. While the main argument was all about using Glass’ browser and properly designing websites to interact with that specific device, the larger point was about the ever-growing pool of devices on which we can view websites.

As we move forward, it’s important to consider the interactions not only of website on computer or phone, but website on handsfree device or website on one-handed device. I believe that if we build those thoughts into our responsive designs, it will not be a big issue down that road. That’s what RWD is for- that’s what building a future friendly web is all about.

    Apple has discontinued the iPod. When the iPod came out in 2001, it literally changed the world. And I don’t mean literally like figuratively. I mean, it shifted how people consumed music on the go. Another thing that happened recently was WordPress lost a market share for the first time. How are these two events related? They both happened this week, of course, but what does one have to do with the other? What does this mean for freelancers? There are a lot of similarities between the iPod and WordPress. And that’s what we’re going to talk about.
