I've been creating webpages for 9 years now, and it seems to have moved on quite a bit. Or rather, the proposed standards in 1996 (CSS2.0 and XHTML 1.0) have now been fairly widely adopted.
The biggest issue isn't the creation of new standards, it's the adoption of them by publishers on the web. Web pages still exist that are written in HTML 1.0, especially prehistoric relics that have never been updated in 15 or more years.
Lets be thankful that the days of browser development forcing standards is over!
Do you think the airforce do all of their 'cyberspace' flying with a joystick?
Wouldn't surprise me if this happens anyway!
According to wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_fiel d#Magnetic_field_reversals, it takes about a quarter of a million years, so 50years certainly seems pretty fast!
