MicroFormats Changing the Way We use the WEB
June 27th, 2009 . by Henry
The internet was first designed with the machines developed for humans who had to adapt to standards that were more or less limited by the way machines were out together. The term micro-format is a revolutionary way of looking at the web which as we know has evolved a lot since it’s inception. The new way developers look at the internet/web is with the people who use them in from of the machines which we do our work making them more human-like and acceptable as technology for people. The web has been doing well, as far as serving us able to give us what we need and serving the many businesses who fund the infrastructure at which we work in, call it a win-win battle. But there is a very much important factor that has to evolve that has to do with our very human nature, we all differ from one to another in terms of preference.
Micro-formas allows developers to make small building blocks and to collate them as the user needs them, making only the thigns they specify as the ones they need rather than presenting everything all at once, which can be overwhelming for most of us so customizable blocks in increments to make things manageable. It allows easier development rather than have one huge chunk of code or page elements, you get bits and pieces that are designed to work together that you can add or remove at will but still maintain a form of functionality.
