I'm not sure a reset is really necessary. "The internet" is abstracted and modular enough that parts can be swapped out and improved without needing to start over. Internet Protocol is being upgraded to IPv6 (any decade now), HTTP/2 is replacing the old HTTP 1.x (thanks SPDY!), TLS has replaced SSL, brotli is stepping up for gzip/deflate. Who knows, maybe QUIC[1] will be next. Even on the programming side we have new languages entering the fray. Javascript has recently gotten huge upgrades, and WebAssembly has a lot of momentum behind it as well. So on almost all layers we're able to swap in new protocols or technologies and everything still continues to function. It's actually a very robust system when you think about it. Still, there are a few sore spots. DNS is in need of a redesign in my opinion. It wouldn't be impossible to replace, but not easy either. A number of concepts in web design (such as "document flow") probably aren't going away either. But newer technologies (canvas, WebGL? who knows) may eventually replace the traditional DOM model.
