Popup Annoyance

Websites that spawn windows containing adverts and pushing other information in your face are the scourge of the internet. Another is the pop-over windows that obsure articles with an advert. These can normally be closed by the 'x' in the top right hand corner.

Other things that annoy me online include bogus emails such as fake competition entries and phishing sites that go to a false banking site or rely on the gullible to believe that they have won something. Also, badly designed sites with flashing and glaring graphics. These include gambing sites and those where the designer is trying to show off all their skills and some of the content is missing, out of date or not working properly.

There are also too many programming and scripting languages. Many of these will become obselete in the next 5 to 10 years when convergence happens or when AI takes over the coding process.
