We all know that Flash hit the self-destruct button years ago — the moment Jobs wrote "Thoughts on Flash" — and began to collapse. I often mourn Flash the technology, and I often think back to how I loved Flash as a kid, taught myself Flash, made friends like Jimo Huoshan, Halley, Vin, KK, YBoy and Sun, and rode the wave of web games. Later, with the arrival of the iPhone, the mobile internet era began, Flash gradually headed for its end, and those old tech friends each moved on to something else.
