INFOGRAPHIC - Responsive Web Design

Responsive Web Design, a web design methodology that eases viewing webpages across multiple platforms.

The staggering growth of the internet and mobile media have baffled us all with way too many technologies to keep in consideration. Web technologies introduce new and dynamic methods of designing and constructing sites to suit the many advanced needs of the general technology forward public. Having to combine and complement mobile web with the mainstream web features and is the common aim of many designers. Instead of having to design many different pages for multiple devices designers now opt for an all in one strategy. Namely, Responsive Wed Design.

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is a structure that uses a couple of the latest web technologies, i.e. HTML5 CSS3, that reduces the redundant need to design different pages for different devices (desktops, tablets, notebooks, smart phones, etc.). It has become a necessary feature since it encompasses all dimension aspects under one URL and you only need to code it once. 

The staggering growth of RWD has influenced many to reconstruct their already existing web pages according to this technology that provides a dynamic view and an easy panning method no matter what device you use. Also, all is compacted under one URL.

Here is an infographic that contrasts all features of Responsive Web Design.

Upgradable vs Non-Upgradable MacBook Pro

MacBooks have the reputation of being on of the most reliable devices in laptop and notebook technologies. Apple has constantly come up with advancements over the years that makes one to keep on expecting more and more from the new and upcoming notebooks and laptops from this tech giant. This time, Apple has given us something not so new. 

Apple has recently introduced the new MacBook Pro with retina display. A super visual display technology that feasts the eyes of photo editors and graphic media artists. Priced at approx,$2199,  the retina display MacBook is indeed a major upgradation of the MacBook Pro, but when compared, the new release does not seem so purchasable. Especially for the one's who weigh the pros n cons.

After the experts review, the MacBook Pro with retina display lacks many essential requirements. Most importantly it is unupgradable. Meaning, you are stuck with the same hardware specification  as long as your MacBook lives. Not only that, but even simple repairs to this device is almost impossible even for the practiced tech mechanics. If even a minute err with the display/screen you would have to ship it back to Apple to fix it.

We all remember the MacBook Air. It came out with such exuberance, yet we had to compromise certain features to allow ourselves to have a light and sleek notebook.

These type of devices maybe good enough for the Apple fans and also those who would change their laptops/notebooks every year or so. But long term users and for people who dig technology, so to speak, this compromise is not good enough.
