advancements in web
technologies such as
JavaScript and AJAX
(Asynchronous JavaScript and
XML) enabled the creation of
more interactive and dynamic

sharing services like Dropbox,
and collaborative editing
platforms like Google Docs.
• These tools allowed users to
work together on projects and
documents in real time.
Social Media
• As mobile devices became
more prevalent, responsive
web design gained
importance.
• Websites started adapting
their layouts to different screen
sizes and devices to ensure a
consistent user experience.
