to expand this visual language as it applies to the ebb and flow of the web, and in turn evolve our wri en and verbal vocabulary. Vocabulary
Responsive Web Design
The terms responsive and adaptive are distinct yet related, and
have evolved naturally from outdated web-based layout terminology Responsive web design

We are the web. We are the makers, the explorers,
the end users. What next?
