066: Is Web Design Dead? with Jeffrey Zeldman

Jeffrey Zeldman answers the provocative question, "Is Web Design Dead?". He enlightens us to what the Web was, where it's at now, and where it could go in the future. He touches on the many short-sighted predictions that tend to prod our delicate psyches such as automation and new technologies poised to replace Web Designers. He encourages us to ignore the rhetoric and continue to learn as tools change how Web Design is done. He also emphasizes that the Web was built on sharing, and that we must continue to share if we want to not only protect its spirit, but keep it alive and thriving.
