No. The internet has changed more in the last 20 years than there were advances in the late 1800s.
How we shop, communicate, chat up bitches, get our world news, work, run businesses, get music, medical treatment, keep up with your prep guru etc etc has all been turned upside down by the internet. You could actually be a shut in and work, start relationships, buy groceries and every other essential, keep up with world affairs and be successful.
