What is disintermediation?
(It’s better to learn something than remain ignorant out of fear
of asking!)
Thanks,

The same is true with museum websites that use flash
components and graphic links instead of word links. Visitors
who use text-only or audio-only browsers or have a slow internet
connection get a few snippets of text or worse--a load of gobbledy-gook.
The site may be engaging for those who can load it, but we have to include
an equally-engaging version for those who can't. Interactivity
doesn't have to be lost, it just has to be reinvented. Disintermediation
only happens when the medium is as good as its message.
