  • content "plays nice" with all screen resolutions

    Hello Hatton!

    My son is 15 and has the resolution overclocked on his
    laptop an his tablet. When my wife and I tried helping him
    with his homework he got mad when we tried lowering the
    resolution because neither of us could read his screens,
    even though I have better than 20/20 and my wife has
    progressive lense.

    Too bad he got mad. He needs to be reminded that people make
    compromises when they need help. He could be in a similar
    situation with his own kid one day.

    Maybe try a VNC connection to view his screen on another
    computer. You could then adjust the view to your own needs
    without affecting your son's settings.


    There's a nugget of current application in your statement
    though. Many, many sites are being built using "responsive"
    libraries where the content "plays nice" with all screen
    resolutions. The factor is to not discount any rather than
    assume utilization by a few.

    The text on my Blackberry Q10 seems pretty small on its 2"x2"
    display, but even modern apps such as Telegram are still quite
    workable.
