Interactive Tools

I thought the sites this week were interesting.  It seems many web designers are using the Flash technology more and more, probably since most people connected to the internet has a high-speed connection.  I don't know too much about Flash or Shockwave, but I know they can be used for different purposes, such as providing small animations for web links or simple animated clips.  Now it seems it's becoming more a part of the main focus and web designers are finding ways to make their viewers even more interactive.  It's amazing to watch the internet grow at such a rapid pace.
