Muddiest Point: Lecture 5

I was most interested this week by the comparison of the many different image file types that are available, and I was wondering: if PNG seems like the best-of-all-worlds, is there any reason not to discontinue the use of GIF and JPEG entirely?

GIF becomes less widely used after we have PNG, but JPEG has the advantage of generating different levels of compression rate, so it is still useful and relevant to many application areas.
