Design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and
environment based on screen size, platform and orientation.

http://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/more-cell-phones-than-toilets More people have access to mobile than to running
water and toothbrushes.

to go everywhere. - http://bradfrost.com/blog/web/for-a-future-friendly-web/

The web’s greatest strength, is often seen as a limitation,
as a defect. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
It is the nature of the web to be flexible.
http://alistapart.com/article/dao

embrace this flexibility, and produce pages which, by being flexible, are accessible to all. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
The journey begins by letting go of control, and becoming
flexible. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
