Been out for the past few days with the flu… or whatever it was to cause my stomach to be in a constant upheaval. Sorry.. TMI.
Anyways, for research on the voice command programs AND history of web design here are the following links…

Web Design:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_design#The_start_of_the_web_and_web_design {you can’t avoid referring to wikipedia when you need a brief overview of the subject… sometimes they have great links pertaining to the subject)
ahhh Apple and Steve Jobs… yet another influence on web design with their technology http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/articles/industry-trends/how-apple-has-influenced-web-design-over-the-years/
I love 1stWebDesigner and of course they have a post pertaining to influential blogs on web designs (I have not weeded through their list but I am still going to put this as a possible reference) http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/design/influential-web-design-blogs/
Yet another article that pertains to Apple and the retina display technology (though I think another company did retina display before apple) http://www.technologyreview.com/view/428381/will-the-retina-display-influence-web-design/
A paper in regards to web design… to be honest I have not fully read through it but I think the references that it has will be beneficial http://webtango.berkeley.edu/papers/designers.pdf
Where would we be in this world without our influential developers? These guys help push our technology further http://simpleprogrammer.com/2013/09/30/11-influential-web-developers-following/
Smashing Magazine always has an article near the end of the year that talks about upcoming trends or current trends that are strong. I will be referencing these articles to show the correlation between the current technologies of those times and the design trends. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/05/04/web-design-trends-2010/
What about books?
One book I will be using is actually one about Steve Jobs. Why? There is a lot of information about Apple and other companies and their influence on technology.
I’m still looking for pertinent books but if you have an idea or a suggestion then that would be great! Just comment below. Thanks.
