 Notes

• Articles are about the choice between html5 and native app development. Native apps offer a higher level of usability while html5 runs in the browser and is cheaper. 
• Relevant to class because the technology of mobile app development is one that is being used more and more.
• Article #3 argues that you may use a combination of the 2. 
• Article #1 tells how Mark Zuckerberg and facebook abandoned HTML5 for their mobile app development.
• I like Article #3 the best.

Key Quote 

"What makes the internet different is that, unlike newspapers or television, it is interactive. We can determine what we read and how we read it. We are the editors and the filters. We can speak and share our vision with our fellow citizens on the opposite side of the globe without the interference of spokesmen or intermediaries."
