Adobe Systems Inc's Flash, a once-ubiquitous technology used to power most of the media content found online, will be retired at the end of 2020, the software company announced Tuesday. After 2020, Adobe will stop releasing updates for Flash and web browsers will no longer support it. Created more than 20 years ago, Flash was once the preferred software used by developers to create games, video players and applications capable of running on multiple web browsers. "This trend reveals that sites are migrating to open web technologies, which are faster and more power-efficient than Flash," Google said. Adobe said it will work with Facebook as well as Unity Technologies and Epic Games to help developers migrate their games.
