The Return to Cre8pc
You might not remember me or be familiar with my work with accessibility and UX. Many years ago I was part of the search engine marketing industry because I was hired to build websites and promote them on the web. I helped people learn how to do it too.
It all started in 1994 when a friend’s husband turned on his PC and showed me something I had never seen before. It was AOL. In that instant, the world was right smack in front of me.
Enchanted, I remember thinking that with this technology we could create peace because we could finally meet people from all over the planet.
Yeah. I know.

Going back to the start.
I had too many websites and not enough time to maintain them. You know what happens then, right? Nobody comes to your door and you fall off the Web.

- Is AI Authentic?I have been examining the authenticity of AI. Are we drifting away from human experience web design? If AI can design wireframes, program code, research and deliver answers to questions, and write for us, where is the creativity coming from? How does AI know what you desire? The video on YouTube comes with a transcript.
