The problem as I see it is that the web -- in terms of client-side executed markup and code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript) just wasn't designed with these kinds of interactions in mind (the interactions that Ryan Florence highlighted). It's the wrong foundation for it.

Yes. Please. Can we please just accept that it's all broken.

Not at all.

CSS has media queries and all sort of crazy and wonderful stuff. HTML has tags for responsive design. JS has (in the browser) access to apis like mutation observer and orientation and speech recognition. It's TOTALLY built for that. Enough of the "get off my lawn" negativity
