- ahpeeyem 17y agoSorry I was referring more to the cultural or mindset change that made it cool and trendy to build Web 2.0 style apps. Events like the coining of the term "AJAX", as well as things like Google Maps and Gmail really pushing the boundaries of what everyone perceived could be done with just HTML/CSS/Javascript. My theory was that the mindset shift didn't happen in South Korea for whatever reason, meaning nobody moved away from ActiveX - but as it turns out, that reason is legislative.
