as i see it, HTML will be used from quite some time. however, flash will never take over, i dont think entire sites will ever again consist of one flash movie. i think hybrids are going to stay for a while. html, with some dhtml and flash to give it a lil interactivity. for some reason tho, people are trying to create smaller and smaller site, trying to conserve space. yes that a good idea, load faster, etc. but why all of a sudden now? a few years ago people were creating more graphic intensive sites, and now people are getting faster and faster connections (myself upgrading our home lan to FO this summer :D). well, i guess thats internet culture for ya.
