Modern is not always better...
On the other hand, the heyday of object-oriented programming was in the
1980s (and the wording in the tutorial is from 2001), so "modern" may
not exactly be the most appropriate word here.
How about "a more recent development"? We could also add "graph databases"
and "document-oriented databases" as more modern, non-relational examples.
