9. The DARK SIDE of responsive design

10. Browser resizing of images
BIG files for mobile, processor intensive,
media queries support flaky in mobile

11. On the fly generation of right size
Experiment: use javascript and PHP to generate a
image on the fly.

12. Heavy footprint of files on mobile
Javascript, CSS files, images
e.g. NY times mobile (54K) vs NY times desktop (637.4K)

13. Mobile First
Default is light weight, progressively build
upwards.

14. But hey! … mobile is a different context
People have different needs in different contexts.
Touch proof? Poor connectivity?
Can you even ‘detect’ if a person is in a mobile context?
