Things change...Or do they?
I have been writing HTML since about 1998. When I started we used tables almost exclusively and you never closed the tags to save bandwidth. You injected a ton of keywords into content to get the search engines to notice your website and get yourself a higher ranking.

When I began building websites the idea of viewing it on a mobile device wasn't thought of or even possible. If there was any thought given to various display resolutions it was mostly solved by adding percents to the containing columns of a table and nesting that table within a table set at a maximum width with the most common resolution. I think that was about 1024 x 768 but it might have even been 640 x 480.
In a previous article I noted how we were building simple interfaces to allow the production line and R&D to do certain tasks.
These tasks were affecting I/O to servos and switches etc, to automate or augment some tasks.
