Yes but HTML5 is an agreed and open standard that enables us to use a web browser without commercial and closed source plugins. All that tweaking to fix your video and get your browser right will stop and you just start using the web. Some things like <font> and <center> will no longer work as Cascading Style Sheets take over. Even our friends at MS have agreed that it is the "future of the web".<br>
<br>One thing is for sure, whatever tool that we teach students at year 7 will be very different when they graduate. On the other hand; social issues, good design, collaboration and thinking strategies will very probably remain unchanged.<br>

I doubt HTML5 is something we need anyway. We have flash,silverlight,silverlight,php.<br>
Some of these are owned by MS.<br>
