Design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and
environment based on screen size, platform and orientation.

water and toothbrushes.

to go everywhere. - http://bradfrost.com/blog/web/for-a-future-friendly-web/

The journey begins by letting go of control, and becoming
flexible. http://alistapart.com/article/dao
