While I agree with other replies to your comment that the internet became prolific/mainstream much faster than the printing press, I think your point still stands when looking at things from the perspective of a human life or culture. We're still the same humans that we were back when things perhaps didn't change as rapidly.
Sure, the internet was a lot faster at becoming ubiquitous, but humans are still humans. Our society still needs time to adapt to internet, because 25 years old, as you point out, is really not that much on the scale of a human life or an institution or society.
