Technology evolution around WEB 1.0 & 2.0 paradigms are follow ups of these developments. Abstraction and encapsulation of technical details in accordance with OOD allows usages of tricky devices without knowing complex intricacies. This has encouraged general participation in computing that changed face of social systems.
