Well, encapsulation is not all about hiding data. It is all about getting control over what is stored in the fields. Using encapsulation we can make a field as read-only or write-only depending upon the requirements.Also the users don't know how the data is stored in the fields. We can use some special encryption in the setter methods and store it in the fields. For example human is a object. We only require the name field of the human to be read by the user but not to be modified. Then we define only get method on the name field.This is how the encapsulation is useful.
