*IN 2010, STEVE Jobs banished Adobe Flash from the iPhone. It was too
insecure, Jobs wrote, too proprietary, too resource-intensive, too
unaccommodating for a platform run by fingertips instead of mouse clicks.
All of those gripes hold true. And now, Adobe itself has finally conceded.*

*The company announced Tuesday that it would “stop updating and
distributing the Flash Player,” giving the end of 2020 as its end-of-life
date. With that, the internet’s favorite punching bag deflates.*

*No one should shed a tear for Flash’s coming disappearance. The web will
be safer, faster, smoother without it. But between now and 2020, the
internet does need to figure out how to deal with the remains.*
