Question

select a technology, such as Flash or Microsoft's ActiveX, that is popular but not universal. You may select a technology that is established or emerging, and available on between 35% and 85% of Web browsers. Assume that you are consulting for a company whose website relies heavily on this technology. The company's executives are hesitant to invest the substantial sum of money to remove and replace the technology, but they want all their customers to be able to access their web content, regardless of what type of home computer or mobile device they have. recommend that the new site retain the existing technology and how to make this content accessible to all users. list the two most compelling arguments that support your stance. Cite the textbook and/or external sources you identify in your research.

Explanation / Answer

Convince the company executives by explaing the result of not adopting this technology.For example, when you load a website with Flash ads, a hacker may have embedded a spyware-launching program within the ad. Without your consent, the malware makes its way to your computer. If your add-ons are up to date, you significantly decrease the chance of drive-by downloading.
